I don't look at it as thanking them for these things, but rather the fact that we're all doing those things with our tax dollars and they're the ones getting shot at because of it in my place. To a large extent if you live in the US and reap the benefits of American dominance you're just as guilty. Obviously the problem is - where else do you go? It makes infinitely more sense to stay and vote for a better world. Not blame the working class people the bad voters have abused.

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.

You think killing anywhere from 150,000 to 246,000 civilians to kill 10,000 military personnel is good?

Yes, only American military veterans did bad things.

Didn't check the instance I was on. My bad. I'll let y'all get back to it.

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….
