WTF are you talking about! "Wiping out a city." Ever hear of "civilians"? Why don't we just nuke anybody who pisses us off? You realize, of course, that what goes around comes around, and you can bet your ass there are people out there who would love to put us in the position of the Japanese and lay a nice low-yield nuke on one of our cities. And of course, they'd defend their barbarism by pointing out all the civilians we've killed in our march to Empire.

Why do I just KNOW you've never heard a shot fired in anger. Armchair Generals all think they're the re-incarnation of Curtis LeMay and the lovechild of "Buck" Turgidson.

Thanks for the bullshit history lesson, tho.

If you read some of the other posts on DU, you'll find that some people here find our use of those bombs barbaric. Truman's own chief of Staff called it that.

Mine quotes all the top military brass that the war was over before the bombs were dropped and that it was not necessary.

I know you're not a freeper, but you sure believe like them on this one.
