We never should have dropped "the bomb". There was zero good reasons/excuses for it....it was one of the single most evil acts in human history, perpetrated by the "Greatest Country on Earth" (one of many). And Japan had pretty much already surrendered. It was not some "brave last minute effort" to end the war. It was a coward's move. The Japanese military was literally already utterly defeated. As in gone, no one left. They posed ZERO threat to anybody at that junction. As someone else pointed out, 80% of their cities had already been destroyed by firebombs, etc. The people were out of homes, out of money, out of food, out of everything. They were already suffering greatly. And the worst part of all, is that we did not become the only nation in human history to actually USE nuclear weapons on another to attack a MILITARY target. No....we just just dropped bombs killing thousands of innocent civilians, men, women and little children (not to mention animal life, etc.). And those that didn't die immediately from the blasts, would later suffer greatly, some for generations to come.
It was inexcusable, and it makes me sick to hear anyone try and come up with shallow fucking defenses for such a despicable act. Honestly, it belongs in the Top 5, if not Number One, in "History's Complete Bitch Moves" list.

No offense... but this post doesn't seem to be based on any actual knowledge or researc.
A) Again, the US did target military targets. They were IN the cities... as military bases tend to be when your a tiny country overflowing with population and in need of lots of farmland.
B) The studies on the aftereffects of nuclear radiation show that genetically there were no aftereffects passed on to the descendents of the Nuclear attacks.

There have been tons of studies done... and nothing has been found.
