Both were of no military importance. That's why the weapons of terror worked so well...Lets see. both cities were functioning ports, both had industrial capacity, both were forming Armies to resist the coming invasion, yup you must be right both were totally civilian.A-bomb, nuclear WMD that only America has been murderous enough to use as weapon of terror on two entirely civilian target resulting in the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of thousands...
Yes, they were so important militarily that we never bothered to bomb them, until we needed to induce terror by causing the mass death of civilians...Both were of no military importance.

Hiroshima was the imperial navy HQ and a major manufacturing city (it still is). The Japs were given every opportunity to surrender, but their leaders were delusional racists that believed they were superior to whites and that their Emperor was divine and thus there was no way they would lose the war.
It is rather hilarious to watch progress assclowns like you defend racist religious zealots like the Imperial Japanese though, so please continue.
TRANSLATION: I can't reply to the points made in the OP, so I'll call them names, call the poster names, and recite platitudes. And hope somebody believes me somewhere.Once again, propaganda is shown to be effective. The will to believe one's country is right overcomes all rationality.
Little egos search for something bigger to associate with in the attempt at self validation. "My country/religion/race, etc., is great and I am part of it, so I am great!"
Well, who would want to take comforting thoughts away from children?

In a war FDR and his jewish advisers got us into. World would be a much better place today had Hitler won and the Jew lost.
Bullshit. Even AFTER the atomic bombings, surrendering damn near got Hirohito assassinated!Easy, all we had to do was wait. They were already in the process of surrendering.How were we to get the Japs to stop fighting then?No, they did not. Only pussies use terror, American pussies in this case.The Japs had to be nuked.
Japan did have bamboo and ordered all able body civilians to cut bamboo spears and to human wave assault any landings by the Allies. They were forming those armies at Nagasaki and Hiroshima as well. Saipan and Okinawa proved that the Japanese civilians would obey any order by their Government. MILLIONS of Japanese civilians as young as 12 or 13 as well would have died in the Invasion. And as already told to you even after the Emperor agreed to surrender after two atomic Bombs the Japanese Army staged a Coup to try and stop it.Even a factory that is able to function must have raw materials to produce airplanes, and then there must be pilots to fly them. Japan had no more.
TRANSLATION: I can't refute them, so I'll pretend I already have, without providing any details or references, hoping somebody will believe me somewhere.The worthless arguments of those who approve of this atrocity have been so often refuted that it is painful and pointless to detail them once more.

This is all in support of my preference that we would have invaded Japan instead, destroying many millions of lives. Instead of the less-than-a-million destroyed when we used the Bomb and ended the war quickly.

TRANSLATION: I think it would have been better to kill several million people in the invasion of Japan, than to kill less than a million with the Bomb and end the war.And saying "we had no choice" is specious. It is a means of avoiding the central moral issue. We had several choices.
Please don't feed the trolls.No they weren't. They didn't even surrender after the first bomb. It took two.Easy, all we had to do was wait. They were already in the process of surrendering.

And yet On Saipan and Okinawa the Japanese Civilians, also I might add, starving, obeyed the order to commit suicide in mass. And the Japanese soldier fought to the last man in fact some stayed combatants for decades after the war ended.Japan did have bamboo and ordered all able body civilians to cut bamboo spears and to human wave assault any landings by the Allies.

This notion is overplayed. Starving old women and children were not going to die charging US forces. It's s ridiculous notion based on propaganda put out by the Japanese military to try and bolster flagging public support for a lost effort.
