I agree we should help the civilians
however, we never showed this much "compassion" with the Germans
Fire bombing of Dresden
Umm we were actually in a declared war with Germany for one thing.
Well then...that makes it OK to slaughter 5 million German and Japanese civilians...doesn't it?
Before my time. But apparently it seemed to be the thing to do at the time. Japan and germany were actively at war with us not just rumored to maybe hurt us someday...
Preemptive invasion sucks.
