Why are we so bent out of shape about an apology to Japan?

I see a lot about this all over here and FB. First of all no one apologized to Japan for dropping the bombs. Second of all, who cares??? It was over 70 years ago and Japan is one of our greatest allies. I see no reason why apologizing would in the slightest degrade the honor of what all of our men died for in WW2. Some of Our generation hate Obama so much that they are blinded by the lies we read. Japanese soldiers and airmen that bombed pearl harbor have visited out of respect. I watched a Japanese sub pull into Pearl Harbor back in '94. They maned the rails in dress whites and rendered honors as they passed by the Arizona. Many US WW2 Vets have made friends with their former German and Japanese enemies.
My question is, if the ones who fought the war can forgive and become friends, why cant this generation allow it officially?

I am absolutely no fan of President Obama, however, there's no purpose in making him appear worse than he is. A visit to their memorial while in their country is a measure of respect that I would expect from our President!

Because the false narrative that President Obama apologized. He never apologized, but respected the fallen. And I would expect that from any human. But, we had to do what we had to do, it was either the bombs or Operation Downfall.
