Thats the great thing about being the victor, you get to write history. Firebombing Dresden and Hanover, and 67 Japanese cities most notably the atrocious firebombing of Tokyo most certainly are war crimes.

So were the doodlebugs of course but the Axis were, you know, evil. The Good Guys aren't supposed to employ the same tactics.

But somehow the emphasis shifted from bombing military targets to bombing population centers.

And your "total war" argument, that's Dr Goebbels' soundbyte if you recall:



The Allies were to stop this extremism of "total war", not take it to a new level.

Theres nothing more "total war" in all of the history of warfare than was committed, 70 years ago, the day before yesterday and tomorrow.



War crimes?  Is that a joke?  Japan and Germany deserved every motherfucking bit of destruction they got.  They started that shit, were fucking scumbags and their populace was fully supportive.  Well, people, maybe you should think twice before you support that shit.

I would also point out that because they were completely defeated they are now productive peaceful members of the world community.  Half assed policies perpetuate conflict.  They do not end it.

I heard we were starving them for metal or something before that. I don't know, it wasn't all pretty bad. They ducked up China. It amazes me how bad China always seems to loose

they didn't expect anything worse. the atom bomb must have been like magic. "they couldn't possibly make that happen again...."

If you have even a rudimentary understanding of japanese culture than it becomes alot easier to understand there attitudes toward surrenders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_prisoners_of_war_in_World_War_II#Japanese_attitudes_to_surrender

here's an interesting article about the decision to surrender if you dont believe im some kinda revisionist or whatever

Well there's the fact that America, oh, firebombed the shit out of 67 big Japanese cities and they found it hard to find two pristine cities to drop their nuclear bombs on. Then there was the use of napalm and flame throwers, they loved fire.



One word: nanking. They had it coming.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_Massacre

Quote:

The International Military Tribunal for the Far East estimated that, in a addition to infants and the elderly, 20,000 women were raped.[47] A large portion of these rapes were systematized in a process in which soldiers would go from door to door, searching for girls, with many women being captured and gang raped.[48] The women were often killed immediately after being raped, often through explicit mutilation[49] or by pentetrating vaginas with bayonets, long sticks of bamboo, or other objects. Young children were not exempt from these atrocities and were cut open to allow Japanese soldiers to rape them





And yes the Japs were infamous for bayoneting anything and everything including babies.

no rapes and atrocity was ever attributed to an American soldier. they shot bunnies and and flowers out of their rifles instead of bullets.

it's soldiers being soldiers. it's a lack of command. it's not because of how they were raised. why would the fucking people of Japan deserve "a Nanking"? kind of a sick thing to say, man.

You think systematic rape is just soldiers being soldiers?
20,000 women isnt an isolated incident.

That wasnt just a hiccup in the chain of command. That probably came directly from the people in command.
