Post: What the United States should have done, to Japan. If a bomb had to have been dropped

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I personally feel sorrow for the Japanese civilizans at the end of World War II seeing as they weren't the bad guys in the war. Instead in my opinion if a bomb had to have been dropped, hit a military base first so it wouldn't have killed so many people, and also if the Japanese didn't surrender then drop the bomb on Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
90,000–166,000 killed in Hiroshima
60,000–80,000 killed in Nagasaki
The United States even gave Japan a few extra days to surrender, and they didn't listen so they dropped it on August 6th a day that the U.S changed to because of clouds perventing them from dropping it on the scheduled day. As many of you may know when Japanese children are born they are taught to never give up, I respect that. That's what hurt them at the end of WW2 they could have surrenderd but had to much pride in their country. Do you guys think the United States should have bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, bombed a military base first and if they didn't surrender then attack civilians or just not even bombed them to keep WW2 going so more lives would have been lost?

There are no sides in war. No good guys or bad guys. Just violence.

Yeah, they were. I guess Pearl Harbor wasn't their fault then by that logic.

There are good guys and bad guys though, its not like Gaddafi and Obama are each held to the same standard during war time, Libya is obviously the enemy

They didn't deserve it, they were innocent victims, but by dropping the bombs the US did stop the war.
I know it isn't really their choose to decide who lives and who dies, but if they hadn't of done it then the war would have cost botch sides a lot more casualty's.

The United States can't be ****ed with. Japanese military knew what they were getting into by bombing Pearl Harbor.
