Why did the Japanese not surrender after Hiroshima?
Three days wasn't enough time because shortly after the first atomic bombing, Manchuria was invaded by the Russians. Manchuria was Japan's line of communications to the Allies. This prevented the Japanese from communicating with the US until after the bomb was dropped. Little known fact, Stalin was making contact with the Japanese well before this for the Japanese to conditionally surrender, although Stalin kept this hidden from the other Allies. And when the bomb had gone off in Hiroshima, there was no one there(obviously) to let the Japanese government know. Japan's government officials were under the opinion that it was just some heavy duty bombing at first, and when they later heard it was an atomic bomb, asked their team of scientists who were working on their own bomb if it was possible if the Americans had more than one. The team claimed they didn't, but the Japanese still debated amongst themselves if they should surrender under the American's terms of surrender(which were unconditional). If you are referring to the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, there are several reasons for Japan's continued resistance after its devastation of that city.
First: Some Japanese leaders suspected the bomb might have been a one-time trick. By continuing resistance, they were "calling our bluff," or so they thought.
Second: The Japanese believed that they could negotiate a favorable armistice with the Allies using the Soviet Union as a third party. When the USSR declared war on Japan on August 8, this went out the window and Japan had nowhere left to turn.
Third (tying back in with #1): The Japanese needed proof that the United States had or was building up a nuclear arsenal for use on them. When the second bomb obliterated Nagasaki, it became apparent that the US would not invade and incur massive casualties but "just keep dropping atomic bombs." To the Japanese General Staff, the bombs represented the ultimate American trump card against their plans for a "decisive battle:" rather than negotiating with the Americans after the latter suffered huge losses in the Home Islands, the US would bomb Japan into submission at no cost to themselves.
What is a military oak leaf cluster?
During the Viet war when a man earned (won, awarded, issued, etc.) the same medal twice the army just gave him an oak leaf cluster instead. It was a little piece of metal just bigger than a pencil point in the shape of an oak leaf (probably made of pot metal or brass). This oak leaf cluster was pinned onto the man's ribbon that he wore on his uniform.
So if a serviceman earned the Bronze Star 3 times then he'd have two oak leaf clusters attached to his single Bronze Star ribbon. Keep in mind that the Bronze Star could be awarded for both either Meritorious or Valor reasons. If it was for valor then the orders HAD to read "with "V" device." In which case the ribbon would have a metal "V" pinned to the ribbon. Again, the V device was as small as the letter you're reading on your computer (V=actual size).
Did the US fight alongside japan?

What did you learned about the bombing of Pearl Harbor?
Do not bunch planes and ships together to protect them. Spread them out making them a harder target. Do not lock up or remove ammunition and weapons.k Reading Walter Lord's "Day of Infamy" would help better explain this.
If you mean where to buy them, then you can do so at a Military Surplus store, or more likely on a Military (preferably Army) Base, in the Clothing and Sales store. They have pretty much any award you might be trying to find.
If you are trying to find out what medals you are entitled to, the first place to look would be your DD214, your discharge papers. It should list all of the awards you have been given.

Why did the Americans join world war 2 in Europe?
The Americans were forced to join WWII because the Japanese Navy and Air Forces bombed Pearl Harbor on Sunday, Dec 7, 1941. On Monday, Dec 8, 1941, America declared war on Japan. The same day, Germany declared war on the USA.
The Germans never declared war on America. Germany never wanted a war with America. Hitler believed the US was weak because of its "Americana" or the fact that it was made of many diverse people. Hitler believed in a pure race and admired the Japanese for this, and as far as I can remember, declared war on the US because of the aspects of its people.
Japan's attack on the US Fleet at Pearl Harbor left them woth little room to turn th other cheek.

The armed forces (or armed services) of the United States of America consist of the
* United States Army

Approximately 1.8 million personnel are currently on active duty in the military with an additional 860,000 personnel in the seven reserve components (456,000 of which are in the Army and Air National Guard).

The United States Military is considered the most powerful military in the world because their power projection capabilities are maintained significantly higher than any singular nation (e.g. France, United Kingdom, People's Republic of China, Russia, India) or organization (e.g. the European Union). The United States Department of Defense is the controlling organization for the U.S. military and is headquartered at The Pentagon. The Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. military is the President of the United States. With a strength of 2.26 million personnel (including reserves), the United States armed forces are the 2nd largest in the world.

Plan 17 was the French battle plan should they wind up at war against Germany. The plan called for more artillery and infantry, working closer together. Unfortunately, the French did not use their artillery properly, or even bother to do any reconnaissance. As a result, within a matter of weeks the Germans had knocked the French back to their starting points, gaining a lot of territory along the way.
