“Americans do not bomb innocents.”
A week prior to the atom bombing of Hiroshima the U.S. firebombed Tokyo killing an estimated 50-70,000 people. The difference was that Hiroshima took only one bomber and one bomb to kill roughly same number of people that several hundred bombers and thousands of bombs had done a week earlier. Furthermore, in a war like WWII who is to say is innocent? The Japanese Imperial Army and Navy, supported by the people back home, killed some thirty million people, mostly Asians, during that war. There no need to add several hundred thousand more people, American soldiers, to that total when it could be avoided.
Their blood is on Tojo’s hands.
There were thousands of children.. if ppeople cannot see that is an unjust way to defend in war, we have lost American virtue.
