lets calm down there buddy
inhumane is still inhumane...nobody should be excusing anybody's actions in '45
Japan was wrong. The US was wrong. That is the lesson we should always take away from war.
of course, but japan should have surrendered when the L was inevitable. and frankly, the US had no obligation to send more young men over there to die.
japan was no victim, ask china about that

Do you really not know what civlian means?bullshyt
and for the record, the argument that killing japanese civilians saved american cilvilians is valid. because american soldiers were still "civilians". these were young men with families, not some motherfukkers plucked outta thin air with no purpose in life besides dying on those fukkin islands.
so for Japan to say yea you'll have to take our whole island and fight everyone on it, and for us to sayand drop those bombs, isnt as inhumane as its made out to be

I'm talking in a conflict, as a means to kill people. If you wanna talk about nuclear tests, then obviously we can add the USSR, Pakistan, India and them to the list.
The US is the only country in history to use nuclear bombs in a conflict. Twice.

And just to be sure I understand, american soldiers are poor "civilians" not to be killed, but it's ok to nuke japanese civilians?
True, but at least part of this is true- the bombs were meant to intimidate the Russians more than they were meant to end the conflict in the Pacific theater, since that had already wrapped up and firebombing would have had an equal or greater effect.
