Well, the concept has been around formally at least since the 15th century, so your personal feelings don’t mean too much.

Because I wasn’t the one that originally asserted that it’s a crime. It’s on you, prosecutor, to back up your opinion.


Are you not able to distinguish the two separate concepts being discussed?

So was Hiroshima and Nagasaki, both were high value targets, with large civilian populations. If Japan could have reached mainland, they would have done the same. We know this because they sent air balloons to indiscriminately bomb the mainland, even though it failed.

The invasion of Japan likely would have resulted in the death of more Japanese citizens than the atomic bombs. Now, you can argue the second bomb being too much, but the end result ultimately saved more lives.

No. Such. Thing.


That may be your personal opinion but if you ever served in the military you are aware that the UCMJ and The War Crimes Act disagree and you could be prosecuted for relying on your opinion.

You called it a war crime, I asked you to explain your reasoning, you have yet to do so.

I think you’re the one that is having trouble here. Many people have asked you to back up your assertion, and you refuse to. Why?

I’ve already explained why, in my personal opinion, it was.

You’ve stated that there is no such thing as a war crime. That’s what I’ve asked you to explain.

Pot calling kettle black. You haven't made any sense from your first post in this thread but here you are wasting a whole Saturday posting your nonsense.

No, you just don’t agree with what I’ve said, which is of course fine. The problem is that you, and others, are so insecure for some reason that you have to lash out at what I’ve said.

Same could be said for your responses to some valid points posted in this thread. You are definitely giving off that angry Dem vibe.

Not really, though. You’ve posted smug arse remarks to everyone but you haven’t, yet explained a) what a war crime is, and b) how what the U.S. did was a war crime.

What do you mean by this? Adding periods behind every word for impact does not add to the legitimacy of your claim. There have been numerous cases held, recently Milosevic is 1999 at the Hauge.

Yes, I served. And yes, I’m aware of both things. Does not mean that there’s such thing as a war crime.

I mean that there’s no such thing as war crime. It’s a ridiculous concept. And if there is such thing as a “war crime” the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren’t war crimes. Sorry.
