Most Americans don't believe that.Yes, I do. And I'm not American, my homeland is Canada. I don't know if anyone here is military. It is quite astonishing to me that Americans believe that Hiroshima was a war crime and was unnecessary. It is not my home country. So I will have to let Americans speak for themselves.
Actually it is a fierce debate in schools today. There is no doubt that it saved American lives by ending the war sooner. However on the other side it opened a door to the nuclear age that threatens everyone. Now they refer to them as "tactical" nukes and have learned how to drop them to minimize fallout so that the cities could be inhabited by the victors.Most Americans don't believe that.
building fires are around 500-600 degrees F. Steel melts at 2,000 degrees F.
This is why before 9/11 we never had a steel framed skyscraper collapse from fire despite some very horrific fires. Also, after 9/11 we have not had any steel framed buildings collapse from fire.
The reason the perpetrators of this crime were so brazen and assumed they could get away with it is because the vast majority of Americans don't know engineering.I am reading these posts in the order they were delivered. I will be surprised if he responds to this post substantively.

How are you going to hold God accountable?Whoever commits genocide is guilty and should be held accountable.
Dropping the bombs saved lives. It's not a matter of ends justifying the means. It's a matter of saving lives and property.
Was that really called for?
Im not surprised that americans feel that way and I am not american.
Japanese military ruthlessly invaded China and raped Nanking but the Chinese did not drop a bomb on Japan or invade it either.
They didn't have the capability to do either.Im not surprised that americans feel that way and I am not american.

False comparison. Slaves didn't attack the U.S. Also, 1945 to 2023 is a long time. I guess we can check again in a hundred years. Or someone can, I won't be here.You're right for now according to this study.

I'm sure if we researched American thoughts on racial slavery in 1860 and compared them to Americans in 2023, we would see a much lower percentage thinking it's kosher too. Different mindsets for different times.
I actually appreciate the other aspects of the argument. There are always pros and cons to every outcome. I'm just more heavily influenced by the saving of lives.Also if God thought it was such a terrible thing, He would have gone after the US, but He didn't. Because Japan got nuked in 2 of its cities, the war stopped in the Pacific and Japan quit occupying Korea and parts of China and wasn't able to take the Philippines. All very great blessings!
So it doesn't really matter much what the nay-sayers say and no amount of shaming will change it. God had the final decision and it was in favor of what the US did.
Shaming is a tactic the left (leaning) often uses to try to shame the right to manipulate them. The way to battle that is to look to God and stand on what He thinks about any matter that is being debated.

You realize we murdered ~120,00-230,000 innocent Japanese civilians? Sure, we didn't behead babies, but we absolutely obliterated them... To many of the survivors of the initial blasts, they later died from radiation poisoning. So yes, I believe unnecessarily dropping two nuclear bombs and murdering hundreds of thousands of civilians was the wrong response.

Clearly it went over your head that you compared years distance with two examples that are not comparable. Also, there's an 80-year difference.I'm not comparing atrocities. Clearly it went over your head that I was comparing sentiments across generations.![]()
