End of story. So, which was "more evil?" (which is a bull**** construct, but lets leave that alone for now...) Killing 75,000 people with a nuke? Killing 300,000 people with incindiaries? Killing 300,000 people with incindiaries, timing the individual waves to catch fire and rescue people in the open and unprotected? (read up on Dresden.) In the firebombing of tokyo, london, dresden or koln there were numerous devices used which resulted in numerous highly destuctive fires. In the two separate nuclear bomb attacks on japan one device was used in each attack with extreme destruction the result. I would have far rather been 5 miles away from Hiroshima than 5 miles away from Dresden. I suspect even at that distance I could have been sucked in by the firestorm. Chances are you would have been killed or seriously maimed for life by radiation at a 5 mile distance. Check your facts. Amazing. |
