So silly....just drop the bomb!


Kill one and save 80 people? You do it!

Drop nukes on Imperial Japan and kill 250,000 or launch a full scale invasion of homeland Japan that results in 10 million dead? You drop the nukes!

This is war. You don't win by playing namby pamby

Boooom!

Genuine question - I get that sacrificing 1 life for 80 makes sense so let's assume a scenario whereby you get a call saying they need to strike in an area but somehow your 8-12 year son or daughter ended up being near the strike target. The cost of his/her life would result in the saving of 80.

What would be your answer?

Obviously you flunked history, or you believe what you were taught in high school. So sad.

The war was already over when the nukes were dropped on Japan.

Wrong.

No it was not. The Emperor wanted to stop, but there were sill ample reserves available.

When an innocent party is killed, those who loved that person/persons go on to hate whoever did the killing. They then might say come to the US and set off a bomb during a marathon?

Riiiiiight. So let 'em commit terrorism with impunity!!!
