Anyone who supports this....well, I've got no words...

Maybe if they A-Bombed a huge military complex stretching for several thousand square km, I might (keyword here is might) be OK with it.....but killing of innocent civilians and bringing forth effects still felt today....utterly unacceptable.

well said and all that jazz but words only are just that, words.

You honestly think that back in the 40's they didn't have second thoughts about this? It was war. A very bad one at that. And Japan was the last thing in the way toward ending it once and for all. Considering what the other options were, then this was the best one.

And opinions like "it's unacceptable" that come from people living in total peace, such as yourself,are out of place. You totally do not understand the reality of the times, only as much as you read or play COD games. Which means nothing to be frank.

And truthfully, i don't see how the death of 300 000 people in two cities by an A-bomb is any more unacceptable than the millions by guns, gas chambers, drowning, freezing, electrocution etc that happened across Europe and Russia.

There's one other thing as well, the importance of these cities during the war. hiroshima was a very important mainland army base while Nagasaki was the biggest and most important sea port in Japan at the time. Both these cities were of crucial militaristic value to Japan. What was attacked? Soldiers, tanks, boats factories etc. Were there civilians? Yes. Were they passive? Practically no. An old saying goes, that a civilian is a civilian until he picks up a gun.
