It’s a damn shame the WW2 generation is largely dead now and their ungrateful grandchildren and great-grandchildren will never be able to hear about the absolute brutality with which the Japs fought.

Again, you're not comprehending. The Japanese and American soldiers fought fierce battles. But you are really going to defend the actions of the American government to obliterate innocent civilians? The reaction would be different if we nuked their largest naval station, or other military stronghold.

How would you feel if we were in a hot war with another country and they detonated bombs at every public gathering until we surrendered? How would that go with millions of dead civilians, many of whom would be against the conflict to begin with?
