I really didn't think you'd persist in your utter stupidity.

Did it ever occur to you that the decision to change bombing tactics happened after Iwo Jima and coincident with the Okinawa campaign, when it became obvious all the previous campaigns and the impending losses of two islands the Japanese considered home territory would not cause a surrender? Our choice was either to target Japanese civilians and destroy their will to resist or prepare for millions of dead, both Japanese and Allied, in a ground invasion. Responding to Japanese aggression and fanaticism in the way we did was not a second "wrong" - unless you are on the same moral equivalence kick as the America hater crowd.

You probably agree with John Kerry that using .50 cal. on troops is a "war crime."

I get your point. Two wrongs make a right. Because the Japs were barbaric, it was OK if Americans were barbaric. Then Lindbergh was right. American soldiers did murder Japanese soldiers under a white flag, and you think that's just fine.

I hope no one minds, but I think this has gone on long enough.

I'd like to report this post to the Mods and JimRob, just for the record.

If narby is going to continue to post on this precious website maligning our troops like this, I think JimRob ought to know about it.

One and the same. You nailed it.
