Well in a 10 page war/debate on my clan forum I've decided you ask you guys what your opinion on the matter is. Not that you're ever serious most of the time and are complete assholes to me, so that sort of loses points in your favor unless you debate properly. But I'm not out to win any popularity contest anyway.
Now, they argued the U.S. are scum and should have ended the war some other way. I told them the U.S. warned them of the dire consequences and demanded their surrender, to which they refused in disregard for the lives of their own civilians.
It's really quite interesting the shit they came up with.
Debate - Note you might not be able to see it
Basically, they just kept coming out with the US killed innocent lives and murder 200'000 people in a lost cause the U.S. wasn't right for anyway.
So lets do this properly.
By dropping the two bombs and killing a total of 200'000 Japanese civilians and military personnel (Note the headquarters for two of Japan's armies were in Hiroshima and it was also a large industrial district, thus perfectly allowing the US to bomb it and not be killing civilians only, which is what some of the guys said, "The US killed civilians not any military".
If the bombs hadn't been dropped and Operations Olympic and Downfall were to occur, the US would have lost at least 1 million men and the Japanese would have lost over 4 million.
Nobody can place a price on life. However, when it's a 6 million vs 200k I think it's an easy choice the people in my clan seem to disagree with. Basically, "Japan was at the end anyway" is what they'd say. That still didn't keep them from stocking up fuel and planes for dozens if not hundreds of Kamikazes, they fortified their beaches, and taught the civilians how to use items around their house to kill the allies, they were going to fight to the last man, woman and child.
What do all of you think about this? Please for once just be serious, this isn't EE.
