War is war. Plus it wasn't the deadliest US attack by far. Every night of incendiary bombings on Japan killed far more people then the nukes
No I’m not. We pushed bach Germany until supposedly thei leader committed suicide.
These innocent people contributed to Japan’s war effort. We were at war with Japan.
Well since you're not an American you tell me?
It was justified in my opinion. Were an invasion to happen, the estimated cost in both American and Japanese lives would have been in the many millions.
Thanks for a good honest answer I apreciate it
A nuke over your head is not justified if you didn't vote for the invasion of another country.
japan deserved it they attacked pearl harbor that's what they deserved after they attacked us homeland
death toll of pearl harbor - 2,335
death toll of a-bombs - 225,000+
@madhatters4
it's part of war
japan refused to surrender and in order for the allies to end the war they had to force japan to surrender by dropping nukes which forced japan to surrender after the 2 nukes
which ended the war
@madhatters4 You should add the total number of lives claimed and slaughtered by the Japanese, I'm sure that's greater than the 225,000 that perished and were vaporized by the A-bombs. I'm sure they captured, abused, tortured, raped, experimented on many innocent civilians and prisoners of war also. Much greater than all their own casualties suffered combined.
@JudgmentDay the responder suggested that it was a deserved response to pearl harbor. what happens over the course of war is not any reason to simply, arbitrarily and utterly unecessarily murder 100ks of thousands. let's not suggest that america really cared about the some 2mil chinese that died and suggest that was a reason they felt compelled to drop the bomb... it wasn't at all
so examining ally casualties it's at about 800k-1million to some 2.8+ million japanese casualties
Japan were the ones who threatened war they can't play victim now. they'll think twice before declaring war on the USA.
American folks wanted revenge for Pearl Harbor
@jacquesvol
@TheUglyMan the USA threatened war to so many countries.
@jacquesvol your point is?
All powerful countries threatened war at some moment.
@jacquesvol ok
Wow. Very surprised by the vote breakdown by gender here.
You shouldn't be. Look at the numbers that voted. (at the moment of writing this) 4/5 women justified it whereas 12/18 men did, thus giving a misleading impression of the percentages.
Fair enough--the numbers are small, but if the percentages hold, that would be quite surprising and would say something about the selection of "guys" and "girls" on GAG.
Indeed
It was because what Japan did before that, was really dirty. They paied the price.
No. Killing civilians is trrrorism and not justified. And they did it on purpose. It is a war crime.
Hell yeah could have been way worse they got lucky.
Yeah, I doubt Russia would have treated Japan the same way USA has been doing so far.
War will never be justified or it nukes but it stopped them from having to do a land base war that cloud have more deaths but who knows
Justified, because now they want to be our friends. They haven't disrespected us again since then.
Yes for sure, it was the best way to defend America
No, that was not justified.
Dropping the bomb yes. The target no. It had to be done to limit the death toll.
No, that level of weaponry is never justified
No, way too destructive.
Nah it was just flexing muscles to Russia.
It's what ended the damn war.
the japs would never surrender
they had twice offered surrender
Yes, it was justified.
Yes, it was justified.
Well, that ended the war pretty quickly.
nothing that has been done on wars is justified
Because I felt like it
No it wasn't
Not justified
No it was not
BOOM!
