“By your support for a blockade, I should have known that you don’t give a shit about casualties”

I think you missed the part where I said that the atomic bomb was the best option, but that it wasn’t the only one.

At least we got to the heart of the matter here.

“I guess as a Catholic it is OK”

Good thing you got your little 2 minute hate in.

Not if you care about allied casualties, if that is part of the equation than it was the only one.

Not hate at all, but the bomb use is a large part of the asinine argument of just war, perpetuated by Catholics and assorted lefties, apparently not in the catechism, nor infallibly declared and conveniently discarded when you don't agree or if the war/battle involves a Pope. Yet a quick end to a war, lessening the human suffering and death is cast aside for a theory that hasn't worked since siege warfare, and didn't work in the WWII blockade of Germany and the subsequent undersea counter-blockade by the Germans. A blockade of a nation hasn't worked in the modern era, wouldn't have worked in a timely manner against the Japs, and the resulting death and misery resulting from one should appall a Christian. But it doesn't bother you apparently, that in itself says alot about you. A revisionist McNamara of sorts, less than humane in an inhumane situation.
