“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.
Got burka?
“Fortunately, you were not making the command decision in WW II or we might be speaking German.”
I don’t believe that. And there are pilots who flew on those missions who have serious doubts about the necessity of doing it.
