@27thlegion Also I believe the following justified the atomic bombs.... Japanese Treatment of Allied POWs, The rape of Nanking, The Bataan Death March, Unit 731, I could go on.
@27thlegion Let me ask you this, what would you rather have? 200,000 Japanese dead killed by the nukes, or a few more millions of Japanese, American, British and Aussie lives lost in an invasion of Japan?? The predicted casualties from the invasion of the Japanese mainland far exceed that of the atomic bombs by a significant margin! And no, no laws were broken since the Geneva Convention does not cover air bombing attacks, pre 1945.
@27thlegion Let me just clarify my stance by saying I'm aware crimes were committed on both sides, and they should be condemned, but you can't deny that these were more significantly more frequent on the German side, I can only name a handful of incidents on the allied side.
@Anders2185 and maintaining eisenhowers reputation as war hero?. my granddas is also a wwII vet (german) he told me about the way americans held him captive. he was 16
@therealbamlee Ambrose is also quoted as saying "Mr. Bacque had made a major historical discovery." But that was before him and others researched more into the book. Ambrose has also spent most of his life talking to WW2 veterans, (my grandfather happens to be one of them) and writing about them, I believe the only agenda he has is bringing the grisly story of war to the masses.

@Anders2185 that guy himself as a historian is highly questionable. Im sure he is following his own agenda
