Maybe the people who got vaporized instantly died quickly. The half who didn't die the same day died a slow and painful death. | ||

sucks doesnt it  Using abombs is immoral no matter how you look at it, but you can say the same about war... Shit happend, just be happy we all learned lessons from WW2(UN, EU , rules for ABC weapons,...) Now let's never forget how gruesome it was and try to avoid other wars. | ||

How are the civilians and children living in Hiroshima accountable for what soldiers in the Philippines did? | ||

If you were one of the thousands that died at Iwo Jima or Pearl Harbor. If your father's life was on the line fighting a war that started when the Japanese bombed a neutral country. Then see what you say when you're given the option to end the war in a matter of days, have your children or parents return home to you, end American bloodshed in the pacific etc. Truman should have been like, "Hell no, we're in this for the long haul. We're going to fight and die until Japan is ready to surrender. Winning this war without losing anymore American life is great, but not if I'm going to lose the respect of an internet gaming forum 60 years from now." As Hotbid, Frolix, Mensrea and more have already said it did not save lives. Anyone who has read anything on the subject that is not american highschool text books will tell you so. The bombs were dropped because they needed testing under real conditions and since you were luckily still officially at war that was the perfect excuse. I must admit _I_ as a Swede was 100% convinced the bombings were justified right until I started doing some reading on the subject. _That_ is how succesful the propaganda stunt was. And you lost the respect of much, much more than a gaming forum. | ||

Dude im not a fucking pacifist its just an arguable but very justifiable statement that the US nuked Japan so that they can show it off to the soviets and intimidate them, if their policies (of course the soviets had a lot to do in this as well) would have been stronger and not as dumb, the Cold War, though it might of been inevitable given the ideologies, wouldnt of impacted the world as it did, and therefore nuking japan for this kind of shit is absolutely unforgivible Edit: Obviously this is completely arguable, just stating my opinion based on nuke = intimidate soviets, not really ''put an end to the war'' and I think that this statement is completely valid, however again its not a fact so...=] | ||

If you vote yes you are probably moronic,or an media brainwashed american idiot (most likely). America did this to show off and to cement their future dominance. Clear idiocy... | ||

I don't think I would since I don't think it did help save lives. But lets say that it did. I think its a stupid argument. It's like an argument for capital punishment. If someone murdered my father then ofc I would want him to die too. But if I was a victim to a crime like that then I wouldn't be in a position to make a judgment like that. | ||
