Honestly, both sides had their immoralitlies. It has nothing to do with liberalism. Those who were killed by the Americans were innocents who had nothing to do with the empire. Soliders were sent to fight a rich man's war just like 90% of modern wars
... and if the US had invaded how many Japanese civilians would have died. Also those civilians were the ones building the bombs, bullets and bayonets.
Were forced to build the bombs, the bullets and the bayonets* Whether Axis or allied soliders wanted or didn't want to fight they were forced to do so. If they refuse they would have been killed
Forced? They were employed. Most US soldiers were volunteers. Japanese soldiers were happy to die for their emperor. Some soldiers fought to the last bullet, Japanese soldiers didn't even wait for that, they launched human wave banzai charges, or suicide vests, or crawled under tanks to blow them up, or kamikaze attacks with planes, manned missles, manned torpedoes or boats. The Japanese were still fighting to the death on papa New guinea and other islands after the surrender. Some for days others for months, some for years and quite a few for decades.
The vast majority fought, very fanatically, very bravely too and were more than willing to die rather than surrender. The US marines, army and British commonwealth forces took few Japanese prisoners.
Look, the japaneese started the war, If the Americans didn't do the Hiroshima bombing as much American citizens would have been killed by the japaneese. And since the japaneese started this war, it was more righteous that the japaneese were the ones that died
Look at the loses the Japanese took at Okinawa, much more than both atomic bombs combined, now imagine how many Japanese would have died if they'd invaded.
It was full of old men and it was on open terrain. Outnumbering and out gunning them. Russians. 1,577,725 troops 27,086 artillery pieces 1,152 rocket launchers 5,556 tanks and self-propelled guns 3,721 aircraft
The figures are there from previous battles and campaigns. The casualties from the two bombs were still lower than the rest of the air campaign against Japan.
Wasn't JFK killed over wanting to keep out of Vietnam? The bay of pigs? Kennedy connections to the mafia? Sleeping with a woman connected to the kgb? His increasing dependence on drugs? Backing down to Russia during the Cuban missle crisis?

Two was not enough
Anyone who thinks the Japanese didn't deserve the bombs needs to learn about the rape of Nanking and the Bataan death march and...

Americans volunteered. As for the japaneese some did some didn't. But many didn't fight.

It actually saved Japanese lives.
Not totally true, but mostly true, I'm sorry if any of what I said made you angry
Look at the loses the Japanese took at Okinawa, much more than both atomic bombs combined, now imagine how many Japanese would have died if they'd invaded.
That's true, that's why again I apologize, I'm sorry
You are so correct... it was only done to save lives
Sorry a don't talk war and politics it's to frustrating
I agree! Unfortunately, I think it was for the best.
I’m cool with it japan started it by bombing Pearl Harbor we ended it with nukes
I'm a left wing guy.
Never claimed that the atomic bombings were unnecessary.
We did what had to be done.
Some think the targets should have been more isolated military facilities rather than cities.
It's called revisionism. Nobody complained at the time. Nobody except a few Japs.
And by the way we heard the same crap about the Falklands War. All we did was sink a battleship.
Agreed we were at war and it was a threat.
We dropped the bombs to stop the war and to save millions of lives of American or Allied troops because of the potential invasion of Japan.
War is never morally right but its a part of the past.
Without the nukes another big war would have happened
Tfumañ wanted to scare Stalin
Or save 1 million American lives.
The Russians had easily beaten the Nippon army in Manchuria
It was full of old men and it was on open terrain. Outnumbering and out gunning them.
Russians. 1,577,725 troops
27,086 artillery pieces
1,152 rocket launchers
5,556 tanks and self-propelled guns
3,721 aircraft
Japanese. 713,729 troops
5,360 artillery
1,155 tanks
1,800 aircraft
1,215 armored vehicles
Sisn't the Allied have so many troops?
The problem is not the numbers but getting them landed on a beach. How long does it take to deploy a force like that from the sea.
@Britantic that was the excuse the Pentagon gave to Truman
And the Army just wanted to try their new 'toy'.
The figures are there from previous battles and campaigns. The casualties from the two bombs were still lower than the rest of the air campaign against Japan.
I have no idea what is happen from this question.
I dont know I'm sorry😂😂😃😃
indeed, they need to chill and move on
Liberals should stop complaining, period.
Still Japanese didn't surrender after atomic bombings lol only after Soviet Invasion Of Manchuria They Surrendered lil😂😂
They surrendered after the 2nd one
That’s why they killed the Kennedy’s.
Wasn't JFK killed over wanting to keep out of Vietnam? The bay of pigs? Kennedy connections to the mafia? Sleeping with a woman connected to the kgb? His increasing dependence on drugs? Backing down to Russia during the Cuban missle crisis?
