A spokesman said in a statement


“In the area of the populated locality of Raqqa, SU-34 bombers hit two fortified block posts belonging to the terrorists, located on the outskirts of the city. Direct aerial bomb hits destroyed the terrorists’ fortified structures housing four units of automobile and armored vehicles,”

Yup...war is ugly....when trying to win with less casualties on your side fighting a determined ruthless enemy ......

Would you rather have almost a Million military deaths if the US had to invade Japan. Nobody likes what happened, but it ended a war, and saved millions of lives. Nobody can deny that!

Funny how nobody remembers this stuff is happening EVERY DAY on the streets of our big cities. Not with WMD's, but guns, knives, and automobiles. We pay so much attention to the Casualties of War...and overlook the countless, useless deaths on the Evening News each night!

Is any form of killing any better...depending on where it takes place? Anyone care to answer that?

Ironic difference there.....

that the US nuked Japan to end a war and to save lives....

and when the radical Muslims (like in Iran) nuke the US....

it will be to end the world and end lives.

Some might even say that it is the oft brutal side of Karma.

It's never a great day. Those were different times, and the reality is. You, and I might not be here if History had been different.

If Hitler, and Tojo had succeeded. There probably wouldn't be a USA where you and I had the freedom to speak about it.

Saving thousands of lives is good. I am usually against war. But once the decision is made to fight, fight to win, with as few casualties on your side as possible. I don't believe in this UN police action horseshit.

We said surrender. They didn't.

That's messed up. I have British wit and no one appreciates the dry sarcasm here. They don't even get it here. You get just that blank stare ....

I don't believe the logic of 'the ends justify the means' should be celebrated. If that logic is used then it should just be classed as a terrible thing that had to happen.

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

Frankly, I really don't give a damn about the enemy. If you're in a war, you fight to win - not wring your hands about being "too hard" on them. You kill them en masse until they lose the will to fight and surrender.

Black Diamond is right - they were 2 of the greatest days in American history. Not our fault the little bastards started a war with us.

You cannot class obliterating whole cities as 'a good day for america' it is a good day for both sides that the war ended because of it but the bombs themselves were not good.

Guess we should all just agree to STOP using the word "Good" so often. That will solve the issue for once.

CB, I totally understand what you are saying. It's like saying it is good that I shot that home burglar. No, it's not really good, it was just the best choice at the time.

I have to disagree and think your example is perfect for my argument as well, if someone decides to come into my house then they decided to be shot, and if you have to shoot do it to kill, if you just wound then he may have a gun and return fire, if we didn't hit them as hard as we did then as previously stated, we may not be typing here at all. If they didn't attack us then we wouldn't of had to fight, if he didn't break in I wouldn't of had to shoot, but always shoot to win. In my eyes both makes ya a winner, and a winning is always good.

Came in the middle so I'm not sure what "good" is or who said it. The bombs were a means to an end. What was it Yamamoto said about waking a sleeping giant? Don't start something you can't finish.

There's nothing "good" about war. But some of us fight them and we're good at what we do.

[Drummond]

Necessary yes but to call it a good day is wrong.

'Good' is relative.

If the Japanese Emperor had surrendered early enough, he could've spared both Hiroshima and Nagasaki the fate that they suffered, saving HOW many lives ? Now .. the Emperor would never have regarded surrender as a 'good' thing .. but, his failure to act in time did its own bit to doom the populations of both of those cities.

You seem keen to hint at blame applying to Americans, but remember that the beginning of their involvement in WWII began through an unprovoked attack on a military target in American territory by the Japanese. Theirs was an enthusiasm for starting that warfare, and for earning the death tolls that followed.

You speak of the 85 year old Japanese woman who had her family killed ? Just beforehand, what was her extent of enthusiasm for supporting Japan's war effort ? What would HER thoughts have been, had something comparable happened to a city of a country she saw as her enemy ??

Enemies are enemies, Christie. Your enemy would wish upon you great harm, which is what makes that enemy earn the name !

And, besides .. wars do inevitably involve deaths of noncombatants, who some might call 'innocents'. It's just a fact of life (.. or death). The Japanese people you're so inclined to pity WERE committed to a war effort which, by its nature, couldn't help but kill.

Perhaps in your next post on this thread, you could post something showing sympathy to the victims of the Pearl Harbour atrocity ?

The people and the Emperor were not to blame. The military that bastardized bushido were. They took control of the government. When a military takes control of a government guess what's coming next? They have to justify their existence. And Japan has few natural resources unless you like fish and rice.

I don't know the exact reason for them attacking Pearl Harbor. I think military and it was about as dumb a decision as Hitler attacking Russia.

Yes, I can and I do. Any time the enemy during war time is destroyed its a good day!
Additionally--they( the Japs) had it coming for their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.
War is not a philosophical debate--its all about killing to survive my friend.
They gored the bull (US)--they got the damn horns!!
BOTH OF THEM!

And that justice forever changed their nation/government.

The fact is, it was estimated it would cost 1M American lives to invade Mainland Japan. They WILL fight to the death. I care about their cities being blown up about as much as I'd care if we dropped a nuke on Tehran.

I care about as much about two Jap cities getting incinerated during WW2 as I do THE CORE OF AN APPLE THAT I TOSS IN THE GARBAGE CAN.
SOBS had it coming to them......
Obviously, my Native American blood seems to see things in a destroy the enemy kind of way--talk all that goody goody peace shit after they are utterly destroyed and begging for peace!
After WW2--we went too damn easy on Japan and on Germany IMHO.,
