Reading through the comments I think maybe countries with free healthcare and education dont have a lot of room to weigh in on this.

I am not saying respect the troops or anything. But goddamn.

Edit: if you are down voting then at least give a reason to entirely alienate all the people who are actually trained to fight.

I wanted to post this video, the words and images are compelling. And yes, I know about issues with Kennedy, etc. It's not the point.

Well the bomb was retaliation for the Bataan Death March.

Either way, no side is innocent.

The predicted Allied casualties for a mainland invasion of Japan were so high, especially with regard to the civilian fanaticism witnessed throughout the Island-hopping Campaign, the right choice was using the Atomic Bomb. After use of the first atomic bomb, when Japan failed to yield and refused to surrender, the return to consideration to a homeland invasion, along with running the numbers of anticipated Allied casualties, made using the second Atomic Bomb the correct choice. The best choice was made, with regard to the information on hand at the time.

The atomic bomb is the last image is the reason we haven’t had a world war in 70 years. It has saved more lives that it took. It’s the reason you sleep safe in your bed at nights. It was essential in ending the war against the Axis. You guys need to be grateful.

Napalming kids though, harder to defend….
