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. |
lol @ that... I've lived in a country where civil war was raging on for 30 years so that we had to leave that country temporarily cause all of the friggin explosions taking place daily....now we're considering moving back since its over...but I've definitely felt the effects of war probably more than anyone in this forum.
