You're not as educated on this issue as thorough as you tend to believe. You congratulate your own ignorance, as well as grandly delude yourself.
Groupthink can be defined this way:
"Groupthink is not the topic, the wisdom of forcing the Empire of Japan to surrender, without invasion, by dropping two atomic weapons is. You have couched your position in moral terms, yet you fail to recognize the moral failure of the Japanese government for attempting to conquer Asia. Therefore; Is the freedom of 100's of millions of Asian civilians worth the lives of a hundred thousand Japanese civilians? The answer is a yes beyond a doubt.
>>You're not as educated on this issue as thorough as you tend to believe.
I never said I was a scholar on it... LOL
But very few have been able to actually argue anything but "my grandpa was gonna head to japan so that makes you a total a$$"...
>>Groupthink is not the topic
I know it's not, I just responded to an individual who presumed I was a leftie troll...
>>, the wisdom of forcing the Empire of Japan to surrender, without invasion, by dropping two atomic weapons is. You have couched your position in moral terms, yet you fail to recognize the moral failure of the Japanese government for attempting to conquer Asia
No, I do not. Did I even defend the Japanese government or military? Not one bit...
>>. Therefore; Is the freedom of 100's of millions of Asian civilians worth the lives of a hundred thousand Japanese civilians? The answer is a yes beyond a doubt.
Easy to to make that decision isn't it? How can 100's of millions of asian civilians die if we attack the japanese MILITARY?? Attacking civilians is not the answer. It may be in your book, but that's just your character flaw...
