I completely think the nuclear attacks were justfied when you start with the Rape of Nanking, where the Japs killed more people AFTER surrender than both of our bonbs and end it with the Japs training little school kids to resist our men to the death with bamboo spears.
But we all lost a little humanity in that war no matter how many future casualties were forstalled, killing tons of people that easily and horribly can’t make us more human and moral, even if the war was forced on us by those Bushido barbarians. Mass aerial attacks of civilian targets were once condemned as the tools of the fascist when it was Warsaw, Guernica and Coventy but we learned well and outdid our teachers with Dresden and Tokyo until we ramped it up with nuclear munitions.
