There are books now?
The Japanese Regime who was firmly supported by the people.... OOOoooOOoooooo..... That's unheard of :eek: Come off it now.... you're trying to make them sound more evil with silly ways of wording.
Were your people behind your military and your government during WWII? Wasn't every country?
Oh and they attacked more than just military targets.... Whoopie doo *twils finger* As your military is so fond of saying
"They're just collateral damage, which is to be expected during war."
Cry me a river.

This isn't to say that militarily pointless vindictiveness against helpless Japanese civilians was therefore OK.
But if you'd been Truman back in '45, what would you have done?
No offhand bullshit, Prax. State clearly how you would have proceeded and cite historically credible sources as the basis for your decisions.
Put up or shut up.

Indeed.... how about you continue to put up until you have no other choice but to shut up?
I have already....
YET AGAIN IN ANOTHER THREAD.... stated an answer to your question above in this thread. Learn to Read, as you so like to suggest.
I said I would have suggested military targets or the best targets outside of civilian populated locations to reduce the loss of innocent life. Hit ports, factories, etc.
I imagine there would still be loss of innocent lives, but not as many if military targets were made, not direct targeting of defensless cities for maximum damage.
The effect would have still been the same without having to drop directly on a city, plain and simple.
• Bomb makes big boom
• They're entire fleet of whatever is now gone
• You then tell them to surrender, like what was done previously.
• Nuke another military compound like the second attack.
• Politely suggest to surrender, or they will witness a city feel the effects.
By this time the Japanese would have had a chance to figure out what the hell you guys have and what you can do, and realise it'd be wise to surrender before they lost a city.
The other option would have been to continue the fight and push them back to their country and press for them to a cease fire, because as you may have noticed in your precious history books you talk about, Germany was helpless and at their end, the US/Allies had pushed Japan all the way back across the pacific to their country.... the Axis were already on the loosing end and it was close to being over.
I could think of several alternative options that could have been taken, but it seems you like big booms, and pretty lights, and it makes the jobs quicker and easier to get done, and it's all at their expense, so why not? True American Mentality.
So are we still putting up, or have one of us Shut Up yet?
