if you would read the article and the thread, its being argued that the war was already over and the bombs didn't need to be dropped
And thats a easy conclusion to come to 70years later but im sure it wasnt so cut and dry
Yall saying the million american lives theory is bullshyt and it may be... But zero americans died after the bomb dropped. We can all look at history with rose colored glases and blame america for america causing all that pain wit radiation poisoning and instant death, etc.
But bottom line is noone ever used thebomb before. No tests were done on humans fo see the after efx from the survivors; noone could see the future.
Im sure many generals saw it as just a bigger bomb... Which we still use today all day everyday...they just wanted to end the war and im not going to blame then for looking out for their country.
Imagine if they didnt use the bomb there... Someone would have eventually. Russia prolly if not us. Have you ever heard of a weapon BANNED from all countries to use? Im glad we used it to get it banned instead of some country that hated us getting to use it. Sue me.
Its nothing to brag about but we dropped one and told them to surrended but they wanted to surrender on their own terms. Nope. Sorry.
We told them #2 was coming and they ignored us , stood by and watched as we did it again. If the japa surrendered it wouldnt have happened but they had too much pride. I feel bad for all the people involved who were puppets for their governments. I dont care what kinda face ghe crew lf the enola gay make, noone wants to kill anyone let alone THOUSANDS of eomen and chikdren
In the context of a discussion about the immorality of the US dropping the atomic bomb on Japan, I don't know how else to take this exchange:
