Lol. Our very own fourth grader doesn’t know every major city in Japan and Germany was reduced to rubble by the US military, causing massive civilian casualties.NO they did not they targeted cities with war production, you three are idiots.
Production of war materials DUMBASS makes it a legit target.Lol. Our very own fourth grader doesn’t know every major city in Japan and Germany was reduced to rubble by the US military, causing massive civilian casualties.
Maybe he thinks every major city was a military base. Lol.
Bullshit, the bombs saved millions of lives, American and Japanese, They ended the war. Truman did the right thing for the world.Americans need to come to the realization that the bombings of civilians was really mass murder, not unlike what Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were guilty of.
Great column on the subject.
The Atomic Bombing of Japan, Reconsidered

Russia’s move, in fact, compelled the Japanese to consider unconditional surrender; until then, they were only open to a conditional surrender that left their Emperor Hirohito some dignity and protections from war-crimes trials. Ward concludes that, as in the European theatre, Truman didn’t beat Japan; Stalin did.
Harry Truman never expressed regret publicly over his decision to use the atomic bombs. However, he did order an independent study on the state of the war effort leading up to August of 1945, and the strategic value of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. In 1946, the U.S. Bombing Survey published its findings, which concluded as follows: “Based on a detailed investigation of all the facts and supported by the testimony of the surviving Japanese leaders involved, it is the Survey’s opinion that certainly prior to 31 December 1945 and in all probability prior to 1 November 1945, Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs had not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war, and even if no invasion had been planned or contemplated.” This is an intensive condemnation of Truman’s decision, seeing as Russia did enter the war, and that plans for an invasion had been developed.
As Timothy P. Carney writesfor the Washington Examiner, the fog of war can be a tricky thing. But if we’re forced to side with Truman, or Eisenhower and the other dissenting military leaders, the Eisenhower position isn’t merely valid; it actually aligns better with some fundamental American values. Given all the uncertainty, both at the time and with modern historical revisionism, it’s better to look to principle rather than fortune-telling. One principle that should be near the top of everyone’s list is this: it’s wrong to target civilians with weapons of mass destruction. The deliberate killing of innocent men, women, and children by the hundreds of thousandscannot be justified under any circumstances, much less the ambiguous ones Truman encountered. Whether his decision was motivated by indignation toward Japanese “ pigheadedness” or concern for his troops, Truman’s use of such devastating weapons against non-combatants should not be excused. Americans must strive for complete and honest analysis of the past (and present) conflicts. And if she is to remain true to her own ideals, America must strive for more noble and moral ends—in all conflicts, domestic and foreign—guided by our most cherished first principles, such as the Golden Rule. At the very least, Americans should not try so hard to justify mass murder.

there is collateral damage in every war, we did not target civilians.Again with the thinking of a sixth grader. Not knowing the US military mass murdered civilians using aerial bombing during WWII, is akin to knowing nothing about WWII.
Yeah all those school children mass murdered were making war materials.Production of war materials DUMBASS makes it a legit target.
Excuses. Always excuses for war crimes committed by our government, but never applied to our enemies.there is collateral damage in every war, we did not target civilians.
You just admitted they targeted war industry.
Ohh look our resident retard that claims he is a teacher disagrees that the allies targeted war industry.NO they did not they targeted cities with war production, you three are idiots.
...
I have visited the Hiroshima Peace Park on a few occasions and the one thing I NEVER SAW was any descriptions of the atrocities that they committed on their enemies, including Americans.
he disagrees he disagreed with the post when all can see he did.Ohh look our resident retard that claims he is a teacher disagrees that the allies targeted war industry.
war crimes are always prosecuted against the loser. World history 101Excuses. Always excuses for war crimes committed by our government, but never applied to our enemies.
Hypocrites.
Are you claiming that the US targeted schools? if so, back that up with proof.Yeah all those school children mass murdered were making war materials.
Wow that is beyond revisionist history!!! You are equating the Holocaust to the bombing of Japan. Not even close to an equivalent and that is why only a hate American troll would present it.Americans need to come to the realization that the bombings of civilians was really mass murder, not unlike what Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were guilty of.
