[QUOTE="joshpoints, post: 193215, member: 546465"] That depends on your ideology. If you are willing to have thousands more americans die to save the lives of the enemy, then it was unecessary. Remember that we have normal bombs that have way more power than the nuke used. Others believe that we should minimize the number of americans killed while attempting to destroy a weapons facility and killing thousands of Japanese. It's kind of interesting I just thought of something. This thought is necessarily true but it's an interesting analysis. We could have not used the nuke, and let's say 5 americans would have died and 5 Japanese would have died. Using the nuke made 0 americans die and 10 Japanese die instead. The numbers are just an example, ofcourse they are real. Whenever we minimize our loss of life we increase the enemy's loss of life. There is no way to minimize your loss of life in war without increasing the enemy's loss of life. Example. Shooting any people that are not U.S. military officers that are on approach. If this is done it minimizes american death. AT the same time the # of civilians and enemies killed increases. Using missles increases the number of deaths for the other side while decreases the number of american's death. Actually I think I believe this theory now. I'm not trying to oppose you in everything wonderbread, I just feel that war is war, in truth there are no real rules, though civilized nations like the U.S. try to make them. The person that wins gets to make the rules. If some commits war crimes that lead them to win a war, it doesn't matter they won the war. Look at how america got its independence. OH!!! by the way where is the war thread? What is it listed under and what is the title? [/QUOTE]
