Come on man...of COURSE we are going to justify that shit. But if ANY other country did something like that, we would be screaming our heads off about them being "terrorists" and "barbarians".
It doesn't matter if it was a war or not. Dropping atomic bombs on two cities (not a military installation, not an army base...but cities with people living in them) was pretty fucked up.
People are still being born with birth defects to this very day from that.

I don't think it, I know it. If a jap was capable of inflicting injury/killing Americans, they were being trained to do that, youngsters up to the elderly.
you may not know about the agression the japs possessed in 1930s-40s, they had full intentions of either conquering the entire pacific or dying trying.
that's a fact.
hindsight is 20-20 Robbie, it's easy to look back from 2015 to 1944 and judge an action not acceptable to you. It's much harder to completely understand the reality of the time as it was happening.
