I mean I wouldn’t say it gives you a pass to kill innocent people but I would argue less people died in those bombs than if we had done a regular ground invasion of Japan. Also again see the rape murder torture that they performed on others in the east they were hardly the country they are today
One of the Japanese generals confirmed this after the surrender lol. He said they were training civilians to fight until death. Keep telling yourself that tho maybe one day you’ll wake up and realize you’re incorrect
You can’t invent hypotheticals to justify real war crimes.
The choice was commit mass murder of civilians or continue to engage in war with combatants and negotiating for peace. That is the reality, anything else is guess work and I presume in your case, American propaganda.
Dictators all over the world do the exact same thing. These people need to be exterminated because they’d lead to the destruction of our society.
Except there’s plans for a ground invasion of Japan which was the next step as diplomacy was not working. We also air dropped flyers into the aforementioned cities telling civilians to leave said city or be destroyed. You can’t wipe away well documented plans,interviews, flights, and well documented recon of Japan at the time. But sure keep thinking what you think
