I don’t know about the accuracy of your number.
I don’t condone firebombing civilians.

“I don’t condone firebombing civilians.”

Fortunately, you were not making the command decision in WW II or we might be speaking German.

Consider that Hamburg and Dresden were fire bombed until a fire storm casused the cobblestones to melt.

A friend was a bombardier and said there were flaming tree trunks lifted thousands of feet in the air by the updraft from the flames.

Tokyo was not much better.

War IS H*ll.

Defeat is worse.
