Most of the educated people know now that America wanted Japan to start war. Sadly history repeats. Only bankers and bomb merchants keep making money, we all hate each other, race to race, keep slaving to greedy monsters. They make money by our hatred. Enemies are created by war choreographer. May peace in the world! Love and respect instead of hatred.
John Dower and other Pacific war historians pretty much agree and state that in their words "the japanese imperial army had committed heinous and horrific crimes against civilians on a massive scale and therefore the japanese had gone beyond the pale and thus moral and ethical considerations in combatting the japanese were jettisoned by the Allies".
The statement above simply stated that what the Allies unleashed on japan was brought on by the japanese themselves.

firestorming could only be done in certain conditions where the wind was strong enough to keep the fire going fierce enough.
These incindiery bombs were designed, not to destroy industrial infrastructure but designed simply to KILL. and that means primarily civilians, the fires get so fierce that they spread from building to building and suck all oxygen out of the area. Most people dies from asphyixiation and not the actual fire.
Have you forgotten that any weapon designed to be used in war has the potential to KILL?
The high explosive bombs used by the Luftwaffe during the Blitz were designed to destroy infrastructure and lives, the mixtures of high explosives and incendiaries bombs used during the Allied combined strategic bombing campaign against Nazi Germany were designed to destroy industrial and civilian infrastructure and lives and the wooden infrastructure of Japan which was vulnerable to incendiaries as well.
@Studio53Productions Of course it can be justified. Bombing cities was part of WW2. The Germans started it. Imperial Japan was the evil one. Cities were leaflet bombed first. It had to be done.
@P1B1U1H1 that is the worst justification i've ever heard. 'bombing cities was part of ww2'?
The Wanton Destruction of cities was already written into international law and thus was illegal during the ww2. Regardless, this was gotten around as it was targetting legitimate military installations around population centres. The firebombing of Dresden and Tokyo was a strategy 100% to kill and demoralise. Not only that it was to kill civilians. Unjustifiable.
@Studio53Productions Each war establishes its own rules. Had Germany & Japan not bombed cities | mass slaughtered locals, complaints as respects the US campaign might be considered. Compare Allied: Axis civilian deaths; a 10:1 ratio argues against considering the US effort nefarious.
Why do you people always conclude that the American bombing raids against Japan were unjustified?, but think about what the Japanese did way before this period during the second world war and the second Japanese Sino War? Was Nanking justified? The Japanese massacred millions of Chinese in Manchuria, committed racial discrimination and ethnic cleansing, raped toddlers, even conducted medical experiments on live and conscience Chinese civilians. Before you conclude that these actions were
well, japan isnt racist now nonetheless WW2 still had racism going on through out the world, US was racist to Asians/blacks Japan was prolly racist to Caucasians(whites)/blacks and so on n so forth soo... ehh lets jus leave this dispute out
argonne5, your a nob head. Read up on your history. Soldiers only do what they are told to. All were at fault and innocent people pay the price...again ,all for oil.
This 'firestorm' bombing was probably the best thing that could have happened. If a full scale invasion of Japan had have occured, millions of people, both Japanese and Allied would have died.
" ...........killer or enemy of the poor animal........."
Pure animal-rights blather !
The, " Save a cow ", poster of these videos forgets that lions eat zebras, crocks eat wildebeasts, wolves eat deer, and man eats hamburger !
That's the way it is/ has always been.
If he doesn't want to, but chooses to kill asparagus instead, fine.
But don't tell others what they can and cannot eat !
Otherwise, a fine video depicting what the Japanese gov. and army deserved.
Civilians died just like in Nanking

unjustified, think of the many more casualties killed by the Japanese. Like the Americans, they had a lot of blood on their hands as well.

I think I have the solution. Instead of atomically bombing Japan, we should have firebombed them. It's really very devastating.

VampireBoiKira629 3 years ago
no i dont think the firing bombing of cities was ever justified
but i think the us did well against the islands where japanese soldiers occupied
japanese army and people were very racist. they committed many crimes in the places they occupied.
i am glad the usa destroyed the japanese empire and army.

@argonne5 The firebombing was the only way to win. Otherwise, it would have meant untold millions of civilian Japanese deaths.

@LeBaron21 The best thing that could have happened? it didn't end the war! If you're going to use the utalitarian argument- at least get it right.
Firestorming was used to demoralise the enemy- it simply didn't work. It just killed thousands horrifically.
The utalitarian argument of the greater good is related to the dropping of little boy over Hiroshima. Please learn some history.
