Question:
In Pearl Harbor, 2,402 Americans were killed and 1,282 were wounded.
But in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, upwards of 200,000 were killed immediately alone. Not to mention the ones that died later as a result of the effects.
I mean, sure a lot of people died, but I think what America did in response was WAY worse...Where's the justice in that?
Is it because America was so unprepared for the attack? Or was it something else? I'd love to hear someone's opinion on this, because I just don't get it...
Answer:
If the Japanese hadn't bombed Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima and Nagasaki would never have been touched.
No, you don't get it. But for those of us who do, Americans - MY own countrymen, if not yours- were killed in an unprovoked attack. What was the justice in THAT? At least the bombings in Japan put a limit on the casualties by ending the war decisively, and avoiding the necessity for a full-scale invasion of Japan.
