my father participated in the bombing of DRESDEN & he said that it was a WAR CRIME!

You guys wouldn't make good generals.

as for Hiroshima, it was a MILITARY target. killing civilians, WHILE targeting military facilities, is acceptable under the LAW of WAR.

Glad to see you admit that.

MURDER,LOOTING,TORTURE, RAPE & ROBBERY of CIVILIANS during wartime AND ABUSING helpless POWs are WAR CRIMES, which are punishable by DEATH by hanging/firing squad. BIG DIFFERENCE!

If you accept Hiroshima but reject Dresden and Atlanta you are inconsistent.

NOT inconsistent.

there were NO military facilities of importance in Dresden, according to Churchhill.

Atlanta's MILITARY FACILITIES MAY have been a legitimate target, but NOT the INNOCENT CIVILIANS, who were INTENTIONALLY ABUSED,RAPED, ROBBED & MURDERED by the filth in blue.
