Stop buying the $.02 worth of CYA from the same War Dept Ghouls who are conjoined at the hip with MIC AND write the "history", account of all the Clean W's, accidental L's and "Bad Guys (everybody BUT us, cuz WE are always the Good Guys since...1776 of course) .

Goodness Gracious...NO.

Why do you concentrate on the bomb?? - we killed more civilians with the fire-bombing earlier in the war.
You mean TWO A-Bombs? (beee-cause...They were BOTH IMMORAL and UN-NECESSARY?? And we're not even discussing the 1945 fire bombing of 70+ Japanese city population centers.)

war is hell ----- that is not just a saying ----- that is absolute axiom.
Irony to the nth degree right there.
The US has done its part and complicit in creating a Hell. Plenty of blood sacrifices of American blood in taking two tiny Pacific Islands just for its airbases.

Best way to avoid hell is to not start a war.
Amen.
( But it takes honest commitments from honest politicians for peace, breaking the "We need a base there because!" narcotic, and a MIC on a short leash.)

Casualty estimates for American forces ranged from 220,000 to several million. Internal planning was for ONE MILLION US casualties. Both American and Japanese officials at the time predicted a Japanese death toll in the millions. Estimates of Japanese military and civilian casualties ran well into the TENS OF MILLIONS.
You are exceedingly dismissive of best estimates at the time vs what you suppose those estimates shouda, coulda, mighta looked like ... knowing what we "know" now.
Summarize it this way, Tucker's OP opinion is imbecilic, and you agree with it.
