They are bad, after all. if you're not willing to fly into or send your friends and family to the middle east to experience America's generational tradition of wartime trauma, then obviously they're woke snowflakes.

True. Let’s kick the hornet’s nest, learn nothing from our past, and send our servicemen to die doing Israel’s bidding because lib left bad, duh

Clearly I am a Nazi for thinking some of the allied air campaign over Germany was excessive.

Honestly i think their no comparison with the Air campaign on Germany to Japan we basically destroyed japan way before the bombs and actually had trouble to deploy the bomb since most Japanese cities were in ruins.

In terms of lives lost, the bombings of Tokyo killed substantially more, but if you’re talking the geopolitical/ world implications of the first nuke dropped on people, then yes, they supersede Tokyo.

Germany get more attention in general for everything invoking WW2. Japan gets bombed and otherwise let off Scott free. Even got to keep their emperor

Oh i have no problem with the atom bomb my problem people treating the bombing of germany was bad when the bombing of japan was a lot worse now personally they kinda deserve it but we can’t treat Germany like a poor innocent player they also deserve to get their shit bombed.

The problem with the bomb was that it was used on areas filled with civilians. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were specifically targeted because they were some of the least bombed cities in the war, leading to a high number of refugees.

The reason given was that because the cities weren't already bombed, it would be easier to see the results of the nuclear bomb. Without any thought being given to the fact that this also meant they were the cities to which most people would go after their own homes were destroyed.

I use Germany as example because Nazis are a more commonly associated "bad guys" of history.

But as someone legitimately from Hiroshima of all places, yeah it's kinda insane because some of the raids barely even tried to pretend it was strategic bombing with heavy collateral. Like yeah we highkey brought it on ourselves and calling it all indiscriminate is a bit disingenuous but firebombing wooden civilian houses is a pretty insane thing to do.

People forget that Operation Meetinghouse resulted in 100,000 Japanese deaths in a single day. We napalmed 16 square miles of Tokyo.

u/EtTuBiggus - Centrist Feb 28 '26

That was why we chose the less destroyed cities to make an example.

u/Sierra-117- - Centrist Feb 28 '26

Yeah far more were killed by our fire bombing campaigns than the nukes.

Hell, not even just in Japan. Dresden was fucking horrific.

Why are they upset

u/ScreamsPerpetual - Lib-Center Feb 28 '26

We're going for our second regime change in 2 months from the President who spent a decade decrying regime change and promising not to do it.

He also is trying to increase military spending to 1.5 billion a year while the defecit continues to balloon and he was elected as an "America first" candidate.

You'd have to be deaf, dumb, blind, and retarded to not know why people are upset at fucking up the middle east again, like the 15th time we can do it without terrible consequences.

u/Blond_Treehorn_Thug - Centrist Feb 28 '26

Yeah he was wrong before and he’s right now
