The incendiary method of bombing Japan was decided upon long before the Allies dropped their first bomb on the country, my friend. (Read through some of the quotes on the thread.)

The United States was going to defeat Japan by simply burning it to the ground, the ethics of the act be damned and arguing about whether atomic bombs were justified is nothing more than a distraction. People were burned to death for months before these bombs were dropped and how that could be acceptable because conventional weapons were used is simply absurd.

What’s your point cap? It was total war. Atomic solution or otherwise.
