Reply #55: yes, I believe you do not only minimize it, but try and deflect

the atrocity that happened to people in Nagasaki, and Hiroshima when you boldly say:

"The grave injustice of COMMEMORATING victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
whilst FORGETTING about the atrocities committed by the Japanese."

On the anniversary of those terrible events. It isn't a 'grave injustice' to think of the innocent men, women, children, elderly, and disabled people who suffered and died under the only military use of the atomic bomb in history, by our Country.

The Germans weren't subjected to an atomic bomb- and while the bombing of Dresden was terrible- it doesn't compare, and shouldn't be compared. There is no lack of outrage, regret and reconciliation that needs to happen- from all sides of this issue.
It isn't 'selective recall'- The things done by Japan in the war may not be as widely known or publicly condemned to your satisfaction, and you can and should educate people to the facts- BUT trying to deflect the attention off of the the results of our dropping the atomic bombs - by the "yeah but" justification, and minimization only makes things worse- (imo, fwiw)

peace~
