Correction.

In Response To: Re: Why I Hate Glasslands (Chewbaccawakka)


: In my mind the atomic bombings are comparable to the Holocaust, if for
: nothing else than the speed with which the American people killed several
: hundred thousand Japanese people.

There's a difference between total war and genocide.
The objective of the Allied bombing campaign was to stop the fighting. Once the Japanese surrendered, we quit as well.

The fact that you would make that comparison disgusts me.

: But I can't honestly say that my
: thoughts on the matter are mirrored by the average American. Mostly
: because I haven't asked any. Who knows, maybe we ALL think this way.

Operation Downfall was the code-name for the land invasion of Japan. The Japanese were not expected to give up until millions of Allied soldiers and many more civilians were dead. Every single Purple Heart that's been handed out since WWII was minted for the invasion of Japan.

Criticize the decision all you want. Just keep in mind that you're doing so with the benefit of hindsight.
