There’s that. And there’s 12/7/41, too. I’m still pissed about that.

So firebombing their cities to ash, nuking two of them, remaking their society into a democracy and 60 years of them being one of our most steadfast allies isn't enough? Did you know, for instance, that our B-29 raids on Tokyo killed 30 times as many people in one night as died at Pearl?

Gimme a break.

The fire bombings also killed more than the nuke bombs.

And don’t even start about the targeting of civilians (which the Allies did) on both fronts.
