Hiroshima, 6 August 1945

We did what needed done. Period. No matter if you think it's reprehensible or not.
As was stated, we were in it to win, and our commanders knew that.

All war and all killing is immoral. Especially killing civilians.

I would think as a self-identified Christian you would understand that and be able to grasp my point.

We acted in justifiable self-defence, and the world is better off that we dismantled wholesale the militaristic dictatorships in Japan and Germany.

That does not prevent me from reflecting on the costs to our moral authority and sense of justice we may have incurred along the way.
 
It probably saved Japanese lives.

Actually yes. Many of them were very tired of it. I once asked my friend in Japan what his parents and grandparents thought about it. They were like meh! They wanted nothing to do with the war and the imperial government and wanted it stopped.
 
War should consist of only cork guns and bubble machines.

Translation: I cannot show a single post where Owl said she was either for or against the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, so I'll just resort to my usual misogyny instead.

You're older than I am, Jack. Just why DIDN'T you serve in the Vietnam War years? Dodged the draft? Got deferments? Hid out in Canada? Had bonespurs?

Like most armchair warriors, you're fast and loose with other people's lives but very, very careful when it comes to your own.

You have a chance to express yourself here about the War with Japan. You expressed yourself about the Chemical Weapons used on Syrian civilians, not really your problem, even though the Chemical Weapons are Banned since WW1. Please, tell us why you are a Doormat. Is there anything you would fight for?
 
exactly, by the time Eisenhower left office, open fighting had broken out between Diem’s forces and the so-called Viet Cong, communist insurgents in the South who were backed by North Vietnam. Each side employed brutal tactics, including torture and political assassinations. The Vietnam War was then in full swing, and the United States was right in the middle of it.
ridiculous
JFK was the first to introduce special forces - Eisenhower did not.
LBJ was a war criminal -and was so unpopular he had to step down after 1 term
Nixon continued the carnage after lying he would end the war with "peace with honor"

Thank you. Phantasmal, Cypress, and that poor thing Owl. Living in a Fantasy World. Oh, and Moon, very compassionate, unless it's Jihad against Israel, then it's 'Death to the Infidels!'.

so why did we strike Assad over chem weapons ( and that is disputed) but not barrel bombs?
Assad - like Qadaffi- ALSO warned his country would be run over by terrorists -but we called him a terrorist?
Assad was the best choice of all bad choices. The best choice is to get out and leave it to the Russians
 
Travel by Air
To travel by plane within the United States, undocumented immigrants and their families may present one of the following documents:

State identification document
State driver’s license
Foreign passport
As of May 3, 2023, border patrol authorities at airports will only accept REAL ID driver’s licenses and identification documents. Additionally, if you are entering the U.S. with a foreign passport, border patrol officers are likely to question you about what you are doing here.

To have these documents, you must show that you are in the country legally. That is, after May 3, 2023, you will only be able to get on a plane using your foreign passport.

If you want to travel outside of the United States, you can’t use your state identification document or driver’s license. You can only board the plane for an international flight with your passport.

I understand defending ourselves. I still don’t support war. I will never view the nuking of Japan as necessary.

I don't support war either but understand why it is both necessary and should be ended as quickly and humanely as possible.

You are confused, Jack. Where did I "express myself" regarding your deflection to Syria? You already dodged that question once, want to go for #2?

For someone who wants the U.S. to be the world's policeman, you've been awfully coy about your own service in the armed forces. Typical of someone who never served, you're fine with using other ppl to keep you safe at home where you can scold others for their imagined beliefs.
