By that measure all criticism of authority action is entirely out of bounds.

I was so intrigued I had to look it up.

Nothing too detailed in there.
From the angle, at first I thought he looked at him and shook his head saying no, not gonna, but looking again, another player kinda jumped in front of white boy and Miller was responding to that guy. So not as bad of a diss as I thought at first.

Oh bullshite, America told Japan to surrender or they would bomb Hiroshima. Japan didn't and we bombed them. Same with Nagasaki.
Also nobody knew how powerful the A-Bomb was or knew about fallout

scenario 1:
current day. after WWII, the greatest generation finally takes the burden of spreading freedom through the world off their shoulders and relaxes. decades pass, and their children and their children's children are fortunate enough not to have lived through the depression and then a world war. they grow up comfortable, second-guessing, ungrateful pussies much like yourself. they wonder "why didn't we do something else? i'm not happy being the world superpower, sitting here in my cozy bubble surrounded by cable tv, internet porn, and my air conditioner."
scenario 2:
we don't flex our muscles and end it, and germany/japan catches up to us in the arms race. we trade blows with no clear winner. we're all superpowers now, and they're still fricking with us to this day. life isn't comfortable. everyone wants to be a second-guessing, ungrateful pussy, and they all ask "why didn't we bomb them when we had the chance? it's hot in here. i'd give anything to see a naked girl right now."

bullshite. We had 20 built and 5 more close to finished.

How? Because some almost dead people lived for a while? Please explain how this is worse than firebombing an entire country with homes made of paper.

Ya know, I wish Japan hadn't surrendered after Fat Man was dropped on Nagasaki. Major General John E Hull's contingency plan would've been really interesting. Basically, Hull had spent years studying Japanese samurai culture and had come to realize that the Japanese wouldn't have quit unless some terrible power was unleashed upon them. In fact, General Hull doubted that they would surrender even after the second bomb was dropped, so he devised a plan that would call for 7-15 implosion type plutonium bombs to be dropped all over Japan. Basically, we would've reduced Japan to a smoking, irradiated, post-apocalyptic wasteland. Truman considered this, not just the bomb, to be the last resort.

Historically speaking this "terrorist" has done way more damage to the people of Japan than those two little bombs we dropped on them.

The Japanese people were held hostage by an evil military dictatorship that took over the reins of governing Japan.
That awful dictatorship is responsible for what happened to the Japanese nation and the Japanese people in 1945.
Even today, there is a growing political movement in Japan to exonerate the wrongs of the Japanese military dictatorship of yore. To what end, I don't know. What I do know is that the Japanese people should never again allow a clique of militant extremists to take governmental power, and that they should always remember that it was a militant clique that lead them to ruin in 1945.
This clique is to be condemned, not exonerated, and not admired.
