Obviously theres the geneva convention, but in war its basically anything goes, but bombing and killing civilian populations is one of the most cowardice acts. Like a fist fight and you tryna kick dude in the n*ts. 
After reading this NYT article on the Nagasaki bombing, U.S. was truly pathetic

I don't agree, but this can be debated ad nauseam. TBH it's the same rationale that justifies every atrocity in war, terrorism too actually.

they hadn't even test dropped the bomb yet...
- Victory in Europe Day, generally known as V-E Day, VE Day or simply V Day was the public holiday celebrated on 8 May 1945 (7 May in Commonwealth realms) to mark the formal acceptance by the Allies of World War II of Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender of its armed forces.
- At 0530, 16 July 1945, in a remote section of the Alamogordo Air Base, New Mexico, the first full-scale test was made of the implosion type atomic fission bomb. For the first time in history there was a nuclear explosion. And what an explosion!
Ever heard of the Rape of Nanking? Why the fukk are you nikkas acting like Japan was innocent? Did you never pay attention to anything in school? Japan got what the fukk was coming to them, nikka. Its called war. They shouldn't have started that shyt.
There is no wrongness at that point. At that point, after Japan's actions IN WAR, you literally just do whatever you can to win. fukk them.

I think in that day and age it would have gone down. They really didn't even fully understand the effects of radiation at that time... hell they had American troops go do exercises and stand in blast zones. You could also look at the mass scale bombings of civilian areas and in particular the bombing of Dresden where I've seen the toll listed as between 20k-100k+.
Of course we could speculate that one white culture wouldn't do that to another...
not to mention racism was de facto back then. The US had no problem doing it.Obviously theres the geneva convention, but in war its basically anything goes, but bombing and killing civilian populations is one of the most cowardice acts. Like a fist fight and you tryna kick dude in the n*ts.
We locked up any japanese descendant because we couldnt trust any of them.
shyt was a different time.
Germany was sinking random ships carrying grain and fruits.I don't see how you can hold everyone in entire populations directly responsible for the actions of the Stateat least several thousands of those killed (murdered) probably disagreed with much of the Japanese governments actions, no?
Stop it already.
i agree it was a different time, but obviously that doesnt make it right. they locked up people of Japanese descent, but not germans on the east coast, who were sabotaging all sort of things

A ship my mothers father was on was torpedoed in the Atlantic.
How does this have anything to do with the post you quoted, WOAT?

"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche
By abdicating any moral consideration in their response to Japan's atrocities, the US forfeited the right to claim moral imperative in the first place.
