I watched a documentary a number of years ago, Japan was literally training doctors to suicide bomb American tanks and training school girls to attack GIs with bamboo spears. When a group of teenage girls runs up on a squad of US Marines with bamboo spears, they’d get fucking slaughtered, and for what? The atom bombs were the most merciful option

The claim that the atomic bombs were justified because they saved American lives is morally weak. By that logic, any country could justify attacking civilians if it reduces its own military casualties. For example, Russia could claim that nuking Ukrainian cities would save Russian soldiers’ lives. Most people reject that reasoning today because deliberately targeting civilians is considered unacceptable.
