Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Kokura (primary target for Fat Man) were legitimate military targets.

That's exactly what happened to a girl that was murdered from my high school in 1983. The murdering scum was known to her family. He picked her up when she was walking to school. By his own admission, he got enraged at her when she called him "trash" after he tried to hit on her. He drove to a secluded spot, raped and strangled her.
35 years later, his case got reviewed. With evidence gone and witnesses dead, the state let him go. Now he drives around the country making jewelry out of his van, and he has a nice Innocence Project page proclaiming he was wrongly accused.

The excerpt doesn’t actually say what became of communism in Vietnam. Young people “preferring” something in a poll means nothing. Are the communists still in charge, with just a veneer of capitalism, like in China?
"Once you see it, the drive is amazingly simple. The research crews say anybody could have stumbled over the principle at almost any time in our history. The best guess is that most races did come across it, and once they did, why, all their creative energy would naturally go into refining and improving it."
From The Road Not Taken, a short story by Harry Turtledove, about a technologically backwards conquering race discovering hyperdrive and anti-gravity drive.
