No, the WWII A-bombs are easily defensible - and still look at the endless controversy even now over their use. It was a first use, before the world was armed to the teeth with nukes, ended a world war, and saved hundreds of thousands of American lives. All the other major powers were not just supporting us, but actually had ground forces in operation. Here, none of those facts apply.
What do you suppose the Chinese and Indians would think when nuclear clouds float over their territory afterward? How would you feel about your family drinking contaminated milk for the next few years?
"No, the WWII A-bombs are easily defensible - and still look at the endless controversy even now over their use." Screw "controversy", sheesh!
As long as we pause to ask "How do I look?" after each shot, we're gonna lose our asses.
A war is not a debutante coming out party. It's hell, and in hell, the biggest meanest dog wins.
