History proves that the US claims to have certain ethics, but in truth doesnt have them.
I see it like this, they wanted to spare their soldiers, so they killed a few hundredthousand civilians, as they also did in Europe and pretty much everywhere they have sent soldiers.
But hey dont forget that the US are the good guys, Japanese and Nazi's were bad because they killed civilians openly, the US arent because they openly say they are the good guys.
The "way you see it" is myopic and stupid.
Every nation which goes to war, moron, calls itself the "good guys." Not all are, obviously.
Almost every nation in modern time has been guilty of killing civilians during war -- and that practice is not even remotely new.
Unlike many other nations, the U.S. does try to avoid it.
You cavalierly dismiss the fact that the Japanese civilian population was being trained to fight to the last man and woman. The probability was for a horrendous loss of life, not just of our fighting men, either. From that perspective, the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki almost certainly SAVED many fold more lives than were lost -- and again, that does not mean just OURs.
Ask some Chinese how the Japanese treated civilians. Get back to us. Ask the Poles and the gypsies and the Jews how the Germans treated civilians. Report back objectively, if you have that capacity.
You shouldn't talk about the U.S. not having ethics when you, yourself, so markedly lack them.
