[QUOTE="peepnklown, post: 68943791, member: 114813"] As a history buff, sadly the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were unnecessary and I would say, yes, a war crime. By June 1945 Japan was a beaten country. Nearly nothing was left of the Imperial Navy. Japan’s air force had been all but shattered. American planes rained down bombs with only ‘baby’ resistance. Hell, oil hadn’t been available since April. The people of Japan had little to no food and their transportation system was basically done for. We could have sent in the girl scouts in at this point and it would have taken them like 10 days to finish the Japanese off (I kid, I kid). American Generals knew the Japanese were done. Japanese prime minister knew they were done, etc. The Japanese wanted to surrender so badly they even sent PlayStations (I kid, I kid) but, seriously, they wanted too. Of course, instead of picking a military base or military target they picked targets, ‘chosen as targets because of their concentration of activates and population.’ So says the US Strategic Bombing Survey. I could talk about my theories on why but, I’ll save them for another time. [/QUOTE]
