re: Do you feel bad about the US dropping the atomic bombs on Japan?

If Japan would have had atomic weapons, they wouldn't have stopped bombing until everyone was dead.

Oh, and we would have absolutely used the bombs on the Germans if they had been developed before they surrendered

I really doubt that.

The very earliest discussion of targets of any sort was held in May 1943. As the last item of a much longer meeting, talking about all sorts of other matters (like spreading around fake stories about what was going on at Los Alamos, E.U. Condon’s resignation from the project, and construction of the various enrichment and production plants), a group composed of Groves, Vannevar Bush, James B. Conant, Admiral William Purnell, and Major General Wilhelm Styer had this discussion:

"The point of use of the first bomb was discussed and the general view appeared to be that its best point of use would be on a Japanese fleet concentration in the Harbor of Truk. General Styer suggested Tokio but it was pointed out that the bomb should be used where, if it failed to go off, it would land in water of sufficient depth to prevent easy salvage. The Japanese were selected as they would not be so apt to secure knowledge from it as would the Germans."

Did you pull that link from Stonehog's personal library?

Yes, we share a google docs account. Now go back to Stormfront to find more talking points for me to refute.

The documentary I watched said that the bombs were originally developed with the intention to use on Nazi Germany, and documentaries are required by law to be factual.

Not at all. The death toll of Japanese civilians would have probably been greater during a full scale invasion than it was with the bombs... not even to mention the cost in lives of US soldiers, sailors, and airmen... and likewise Japanese military personnel.

This, too. Frankly, choosing Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as opposed to Tokyo or Osaka, etc. was playing off as far as civilian casualties were concerned. They were smaller population cities with strategic objectives (weapons plants, military centers, etc.) that had not yet been heavily bombed.

Do less

Germany was off limits. The racist KKK member president from Missouri was more than happy to bomb the Asians though.

Well fugh yea. They're smaller, closer together, live in paper houses, and are more combustable from eating Chinese babies and greasy felines. I mean shite-easy decision.
