The incendiary bomb raids on Tokyo and other cities in 1945 killed far more people than at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Surrender was already being discussed through neutral diplomatic channels, but the Soviet Union was about to launch a massive offensive in Manchuria and Korea. The Soviets expected to occupy Hokkaido Island and be part of the allied occupation of Japan. The United States decided to act decisively to prevent the Soviets from having influence in post war Japan. That would be non movie version of history.Less of us dying is old movies to you? That's beyond stupid.Sounds more like it's based on old movies.My version of right and wrong is based on less of us dying.I think you may be confusing concepts of right and wrong with that of expediency.Yes it is. I don't know about Syria but carpet bombing Dresden and nuking Japan was the right thing to do.I don't know what kind of insane morality you're talking about, but killing innocent civilians is never morally justified.
