JudgeAll “The Japanese had a bio and chemical arsenal at the ready to “nuke” the US. But history revisionism is so much better...”
“Unit 731 “
So did they use them (Bio/Chemo/Nuke) on our people or in the war against us? Obviously no one knew then about your unit 731 so even if it existed in the years claimed using them as an excuse to Kill Hundreds of thousands of innocent people is not justified. Thus it is a mute argument and was not even a consideration at the time.
NorthMountain “ And it ENDED a World War. What do you think of that, JAFO?”
So your saying the only way the war would have ended was by Nuking civilians? That’s justification for doing such Evil?
Would you change your mind if they were going to surrender but were not being give the opportunity? Or do you think the only way they could surrender, and it be acceptable, is if hundreds of thousands of civilians were Killed?

Killing Unjustly is a Sin Period, The USA, USA, USA and not thinking about the wrongs we have done is not good for your Soul.
God Bless
Are you aware of what the Japanese civilians did to themselves on Saipan when the Americans took that island? Are you aware of the incredibly low surrender rate of Japanese soldiers from Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima and virtually every other place the Americans fought them?
Did you notice that the Japanese did not surrender after their navy ceased to exist, Tokyo was flattened and their offensive capabilities were gone?
The Japanese refused to surrender after one atomic bomb - it took two for them to think we were serious.
Given the documented examples of Japanese soldiers and civilians (see Saipan) refusal to surrender, an invasion of Japan would have been a bloodbath - mostly for the Japanese. It was not incumbent upon the Americans to lose one single additional life to end a war the Japanese started - not even to salve your conscience.
Japanese had long planned to use these weapons on the US and yes it fully justifies nuking them. Without nukes America would have been hit with all kinds of plagues. Sht, even my communist uncle would rant and say America should have bombed them with dozens of nukes for what they did to the Chinese used as guinea pigs for unit 731 arsenal development. Read up history.
And if you worry of using nukes on civilians, dont fracking blame America but Democrats who always have used this method from the Civil War, Andrew Jackson on Indians all the way to Kosovo.
That being said, had we known about Unit 731, maybe that would have been targeted.
Bottom line is nuke disarmament is a recipe for cheaters to spread nukes to terrorist groups and get struck
