The Nuking of Nagasaki: Even More Immoral and Unnecessary than Hiroshima

[Vegasgiants]

What did the japanese court say about the Rape of Nanking?
Or the forced prostitution of Comfort Women?

Horrible atrocities. I dont defend what japan did in the slightest

But typically all the fuss by you has been about a command decision that ended the war and brought japanese criminals to justice

I dont think the women and children of Nagasaki and Hiroshima were war criminals

Interestingly, the only nuclear attack in history was launched by Democrats. They have no regard for human life whatsoever. They're butchers.

Fascinating

Fascinating

Also horrific. But that's what the left is.

Or Berlin, Hamberg, or London?

war is a dirty business and the US didnt start it

Japan did

I'm glad you agree the bombs were horrific.

Not relevant to the point

I disagree

using the atomic bomb on japan saved lives

Not according to our military leaders

Some military leaders but not all

Name a US general or admiral that agrees with you and provide his quote

I cant at this moment since all the sources on the internet are anti

In classic “man bites dog” journalism the historians only mention dissenters

I doubt if they even bothered to search for a balanced opinion

yes japan was defeated militarily

But without their surrender an invasion would have occurred that would have killed far more Americans and Japanese

I have searched for every opinion I can find


The consensus is clear


Our military leaders thought the bomb was not necessary

Not so

you have only offered 2 or three military men who opposed the bombing

and all assume that an invasion was unnecessary

but without immediate surrender of japan what would have happened if they didnt surrender ?

the consequences of a US invasion are horrific

But the consequences of not ending the war sooner are worse

would korea be better off as a communist country?

How about japan as a divided nation half communist and half free?

I have offered 7.

Lemay said just wait 2 weeks. Actually we could have just waited 3 days for the Russian invasion

Our military leaders were pretty clear that an a invasion was unnecessary


Surrender was inevitable

Militarily japan was defeated

which is all military leaders like lemay were qualified to comment on

but the japanese knew that also and it didnt matter to them

they planned to fight on no matter what

not even two atomic bombs changed their mind about that

It is your opinion that the bombs were necessary for surrender


I have presented expert opinion from the people who knew the situation best in japan at the time


I will go with their opinion
