Tomorrow will be the 65th Anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki - General

[QUOTE=LaceratorX;23932358]You have no idea what you are talking about! There is NEVER a proper time, place, or reason to kill unarmed and non-combatant personnel. From your own reasoning, a soldier could attempt to use your house as an attempt to gain ground on the enemy, and when you refuse, he'd shoot you because you're not worth anything.[/QUOTE] no that's different logic I was talking about how we used to bomb cities to destroy the enemy's war effort not randomly shooting people. Now'a days there is to much politics in war and its bullshit.

[QUOTE=jgerm529;23922107] Back when you didnt have to worry about killing civilians and it should still be that way now.[/QUOTE] Yeah, the safety and well-being of civilians is just so stupid we should just consider them irrelevant in conflicts so that wars can go on [b]much[/b] better. [editline]04:54PM[/editline] [QUOTE=superdinoman;23945031]The day America the greatest country on Earth became greater. :fsmug:[/QUOTE] What? We invented a new way to kill other Humans? The Germans and Japanese already defeated us.

Congratulations on your invention of a destructive marvel, America, contributing bigger, better explosions to the world since 07/04/1776.

[QUOTE=PVT drone536;23933370]Your making a ass out of your country. Besides jap's already bombed us. Killed darwin and had a fail sub hit the bridge.[/QUOTE] Stop expecting people to be serious on the internet. Also: Stop acting like America is evil. We are not evil people, there was no vote one day that asked us US citizens if we wanted to bomb Nagasaki and Hiroshima. You guys need to understand that America itself isn't a bad country, it's just that war escalates to terrible things like this. I doubt that any sane people are happy and proud of our history. If you're going to get pissed off about a 65-year old bombing then blame the war it was caused by.

So the US killed 370,000+ Japanese in less than a week and they love us? Sounds reasonable

[QUOTE=1nfiniteseed;23933095] These two officers had a competition to see who could cut down 100 Chinese people first. the figures for total deaths in China, Malaysia, Korea, Indochina, and Vietnam total up to anywhere from 3 million to 10 million. Eye for an eye punishment.[/QUOTE] "The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind" - Martin Luther King. Dropping the bomb was the lesser of two evils. But your idea that Japan [b]deserved[/b] the bombing makes you sound like a twat. [editline]05:25PM[/editline] I still believe that it wasn't necessary to drop two bombs on Japan, even at the magnitude, im thinking that Japan would realize that they were no match to the US.

Even though an invasion would have been deadlier it's not like fullscale invasion and bombing to hell were the only options possible.

God bless America. "Like we never did anything evil"

When I go to Japan, I always feel so welcomed. But I know that deep down the Japanese still dont necessarily like the Americans (or anyone not Japanese for that matter).

Although it's a shame sometimes that a country is represented by its military, Because how many Japanese civilians wanted to bomb Pearl Harbor? None I like the pilot of the Enola Gay though. That's a man you know you can count on

Last night I had some left-over sushi that I had bought from a Japanese restaurant a day or two ago. I was afraid to eat the fish raw at this point, but it was also too expensive to just throw out so I stuck it in the microwave and thoroughly cooked it. Did it taste bad? Yes, it did, but I had no other choice.

Fuck you Dolphin and Whale!

Americans on the other hand were attacked unprovoked at pearl harbor, knew about Japanese atrocities they committed (also all the americans who died in the bataan death march), and had a lot more reason to hate japan and support the bombing. I figured that would be common sense.

[QUOTE=Kirrimir;23922064]this to be honest.[/QUOTE] as much as my human heart agrees, the projected 3 million more deaths without the bombs do not. I'm kinda torn, but what happened, happened and it's what we have to live with.

OP's top picture is incorrect, B-29's dropped both A-Bombs And also, had we not dropped those bombs then we would have have to literally level every town, village, and city, we killed over a hudred thousand, but we saved at least a million americans and pretty much the rest of Japan. I'd call that a fair trade

The city is so pretty these days, I got to look over it on one of the hills when I went there.
