YOU are the one pushing the false narrative that using nuclear weaponry to specifically target civilians or killing "millions" of civilians by other means are the only two options a military has. I realize you believe the only options we have are terrorist tactics or other tactics specifically targeting even more civilians, but you are wrong, only tyrants like Hirohito and Hitler and terrorists that target civilians with planes and suicide bombers believe targeting civilians is the only sensible means of fighting one's enemies.
Because you believe this as wholeheartedly as characters like Bin Laden and a large array of psychopathic tyrants throughout history and because you appear to believe you are the undisputed expert in military tactics (with full Godlike knowledge of the outcomes of all possible military strategies), there is no point in continuing here. You are not open to my views and I will never believe that targeting civilians specifically is the only option a military could have (a rather silly notion of yours IMO).
We will always disagree.
My suggestion however that you apologize to Kimi and explain to her that Nuking civilian targets was an act of mercy towards civilians still stands.
After all your position is of the highest morality (far superior to my own) and your opinions do carry the weight of indisputable truth so I am sure she will be receptive, and even thank you as the proxy and voice of the peace heroes "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" for the heroic compassion of their service.
