Well, saying that it ended the war just makes the U.S. look stupid.

We killed 140,000 other people to potentially save 10,000 of our own (maybe). It was for the better.

WTF, that isn't how things should work.
Maybe not in a perfect world. But how many Americans and British soldiers had already been killed in combat by an enemy that attacked us? Why on earth should we want to spare enemy lives and sacrifice our own soldiers? And since Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both military targets, what is your problem?

He 'clearly sleeps'? Did you actually read the article? He said that he sleeps clearly.

He made the politics of war end, but in order to do so he made the war of politics go to an extreme and kill 140,000 people.
Can you tell me how many people died because of Japanese invasions in China, Burma and other countries? How about the British and American POWs that were starved to death while forced to do manual labor? How many were they? How many Chinese, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians were also worked and starved to death? And you worry about 140,000 civilians from the aggressor nation?

and so is the entire US military for claiming that killing 140,000 CITIZENS of Japans was acceptable to stop the MILITARY of japan. Just sick.
So you support the Japanese murder of several hundred thousand innocent civilians and military that the Japanese killed outright or through starvation?

Of course, there is no due respect for you. You are an idiot. Of course, you never served in the military, especially in combat. Thus, that explains why you are an idiot.
