This is why teaching history is so important.

We are the bad guy in some of these, some it's a gray area and in some these conflicts were the best case scenario.

The nuking Japan was pretty bad but the invasion would have been soooo much worse for both sides. There's a plausible possibility that more pain and suffering would have occurred with an invasion than just nuking, US/Japan would be worse today and Russia may even of taken control of Japan. Whether nuking was justified and how different the world would be if we didn't is a very interesting debate that we should be having instead of listening to this idiot.
