re: The Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - Animated

I’m hoping you can use shock and awe from the atomic bomb and not have to kill innocent people.

And what happens when Japan thinks they are going to call your bluff?

“See they would never drop the bomb anywhere that would really do harm. America scared.”

Then you’re in the same position and wasted a bomb and the resources to make that bomb.

You don’t understand how fanatically crazy the Japanese were then.

Indeed.

Hes basically Niles Crane. His fighting is done through lawyers offices.

Do you have any idea how many bammers I've had upvote in this thread for answering your nonsense and non-arguments? That right there is a real war crime!

One other point - there are people whose profession pervades every aspect of their lives. Those people are, more often than not, not only bad at their profession, but also the stereotypes on which jokes about their profession are based. If you are indeed an attorney as implied by several above, congratulations on your ascension to walking, talking lawyer joke. That's pretty much what your replies in this thread sum up to. Bad law practice by continuing an argument purely for the sake of arguing, rather than for reaching a conclusion or learning.

Some real mental gymnastics in this word salad.

You would have run away back then

Sorry Niles, men don't run.

We certainly don't listen to males who wouldn't know a butt stock from a barrel of a gun.

I'd love to see your soft arse invading Japan back in 45.

This for sure

So you’re not a man then because you’ve run away from your problems a few times in your life. You’ve also pimped your wife out. I’ll pass on manhood lessons from you, Roger.

Yeah, I grew up in south Louisiana in a law enforcement family. I know nothing about guns.

Nope. You’ve admitted it.

Find a link. Because its purely your imagination, which is a hell of a lot more robust than your athletic ability.

Was the US nuking Japan the right choice solely in the context of “best decision for America?”

Absolutely.

Because the U.S. military planners assumed "that operations in this area will be opposed not only by the available organized military forces of the Empire, but also by a fanatically hostile population",[13] high casualties were thought to be inevitable, but nobody knew with certainty how high. Several estimates were made, but varied widely in numbers, assumptions and purposes, which included advocating and opposing the invasion. The estimated casualty figures later became a crucial point in postwar debate over the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

On 15 January 1945, the U.S. Army Service Forces released a document, "Redeployment of the United States Army after the Defeat of Germany." In it, they estimate that during the 18 month period after June 1945 (that is, through December 1946), the Army would be required to furnish replacements for 43,000 dead and evacuated wounded every month.[84] From analysis of the replacement schedule and projected strengths in overseas theaters, it suggested that Army losses alone in those categories, excluding the Navy and Marine Corps, would be approximately 863,000 through the first part of 1947, of whom 267,000 would be killed or missing.[85] This likewise excludes wounded who would be treated in-theater during an initial window of 30 days, later to be expanded to 120 days.
