One or two square miles of Hiroshima were flattened and they say something like 100,000 people died.

The firebomb raid on Tokyo burned down 16 square miles of the heart of the city and that areas was said to have at least 100,000 people per square mile. Anybody caught up in that **** would have not have even known which way to run; there'd have been an even chance he'd be running INTO it. You do the arithematic....

Fine with me. Contrary to conventional BS, Hiroshima was a military and industrial target. I know there are revisionist liars who will tell you otherwise. As for Tokyo, it was the belly of the Beast and needed to get whatever we could deliver. If we took out a million, which I seriously don't buy, it's still OK with me.
