"...you demand that collateral damage never happen evidently."

Not so. You're reading stuff into the argument that I never said. That prevents reasonable discussion.

[[This is not the only time it’s been done, nor are we, by far, the only nation which has done it.]]

BS- civilians were NOT targeted- Strategic military targets were targeted- period! I’ve told you several times now that we gave them every chance to evacuate because they were in the target zone- We did our duty and went above and beyond- and no matter how many times you make the false accusation- America did NOT target civilians! and it’s shameful that you keep making this disgusting claim-

EVERY war has civilian casualties- and pretending they don’t is naive- over 80% of deaths are civilian- The blame lies with the nations that attack others in an unwarrented manner- You can NOT lay the blame on the nations that are defending themselves and who go above and beyond by warning the citizens to leave the intended target areas- The blame lies with THEIR governments! To allow military targets to keep producing ammunitions and weapons of war so they can keep murdering OUR soldiers and civilians is a disgusting position to take!

[[I think we’re through.]]

Absolutely! your disgusting position and false claims turns my stomach!

no I’m not- you condemn America for collateral damage calling America war criminals-

[[That prevents reasonable discussion.]]

Reasonable discussion? Sorry- but accusing America of war crimes- falsely accusing America of intentionally targeting civilians like you have is NOT reasonable by any stretch of the imagination, Nor is it respectful! It is a disgusting false claim based on ignorance and liberal ideology!

[[This is the intentionally indiscriminate killing of civilians. City=target.]]

BS! I have explained to you several times now that we did NOT target civilians- We targeted legitimate military targets that turned the tide of war and resulted in the surrender of Japan and end of war- Your false, disgusting claim, that we hit those cities only because they had innocent civilians in them is shameful! You claim you love America but turn around and FALSELY accuse them of a serious war crime? That isn’t love for one’s country!

[[I think we’re through.]]

Absolutely!

"Your false, disgusting claim, that we hit those cities only because they had innocent civilians in them is shameful!"

I never said that, either.

That's why this discussion is at an end. I can't respond to accusations about me that are false.

you have either outright said that or insinuated that many times throughout- your statements clearly indicate you think our American nation is an ‘innocent-baby murdering war criminal’ and you state over and over again America targeted civilian populations

direct Quotes from you [[This is the intentionally indiscriminate killing of civilians. City=target.]]

In the above quote- you are responding to my statements about Nagasaki and Hiroshima and you flat out accused the US of intentionally targeting civilians

[[This is not the only time it’s been done, nor are we, by far, the only nation which has done it.]]

And then you go on to accuse the US of indiscriminate civilian targeting more than once-

[[The targeted destruction of whole cities, or of whole geographical areas, together with their populations, is a war crime.]]

[[The bottom line is: those who use indiscriminately lethal weapons of mass destruction, intend indiscriminate mass deaths.]]

another BS statement

[[Baby-killing -— by whatever means -— is part of what gave Nazism a bad name.]]

Apparently you are comparing the US to Nazi Germany now- I’m sorry- how many times did Nazi Germany drop leaflets telling the people to evacuate because they were going to target military targets again? Oh yeah, that’s right, NONE!

Don’t you tell me that you weren’t falsely condemning America for war crimes for targeting civilians- your words and intentions behind your posts are more than clear! You accuse America of ‘indiscriminately murdering civilians’[[This is the intentionally indiscriminate killing of civilians. City=target.]]

Not once have you even admitted that those cities were legitimate military targets who were producing weapons of war that were murdering our soldiers- nor have you admitted that we did everything we could to warn the citizens to flee- Funny how you insinuate that hitting legitimate military targets is illegal by claiming America is a war criminal nation for having hit these targets, but you apparently support not hitting such cities which would result in millions of more deaths to other civilians and to our military, and then you turn around and claim to ‘love our country, and i assume our military’

[[I can’t respond to accusations]]

Ah but yet you do keep responding, falsely i might add-
