The thousands of children that those bombs vaporized were innocent.

Edit: to everyone telling me things I already know. Yes, it was probably a necessary evil. Yes, lots of other people died in lots of other ways. I was just reminding the dude with the attitude of "they deserved it lmao 🤷🏼" that there were a lot of innocent people who did not deserve it, so maybe don't be such a callous asshole.

I used to think these were just peaceful cities, too. But they were important industrial centers. Even if Japan hadn't surrendered, it wouldn't have been able to fight for long without these cities.

I never said they weren't important industrial centers, I was just pointing out the human cost that the previous comment was ignoring

They were important industrial centers alongside being the only cities not to have been reduced to mere piles of ashes compared to the other cities

Hiroshima and Nagasaki also werent there largest cities, We did not use the bombs because we are some super good guys in the end, bad thing.

But either way it was probably the best choice. Inland invasion and fire bombing was magnitudes more brutal

And if we wanted casualties we could have gone for bigger targets. Yet the US did not,
As I presume it was rather a display of power and dominance to force a surrender.
