Atom Bomb

My second movie for Civics class. This one is more serious than my last one. It is about the atomic bomb and the destruction of hiroshima & nagasaki.

Humans - smart enough to harness the power of the sun in such a small device but stupid enough to actually use it <3

@MrPhoeniquera18 Buddy! Wake up! Do you think common like you or me have anything to gain from this war? You and I are paying heavier taxes and "OUR" money is consumed in war. And what do "common man" get out of war? Any benefits? NO NOTHING! It is all about "MONEY" and who earns money? Politicians. They make us fight, they make us bleed, they kill us for "MONEY". Wiping Japan or Israel off the map wont bring you any happiness or wealth. Take my word!

I don't think there is really any point in arguing. For all we know, the world could end in a day and that would be the end or we could be "reborn" every 100 billion years. If you look at how to universe started it seems somewhat random. Maybe God, Allah or the creators just decided one day to create life. On the other hand, science says(for the most part) that the universe started from nothing. War was never that effective. The whole idea is that you exhaust the enemies resources.

War crime. A crime committed in a war. Ok, all sides do this. But there is a difference between an overzealous soldier killing in the uncertain craziness of war someone who is on the periphery of innocence. How different are political regimes (Italy, Germany, Japan) in WWII, who clearly stated their racial superiority and then proceeded to place others in incarceration, starvation, incineration... We clearly didn't do that. We weren't perfect, but most moral and reluctant to fight.

@giannivee1 okay buddy calm down... yes the axsis powers commited horrible atrocaties we all know that. but all sides commited war crimes. Yet all the bombings on cities back then wernt war crimes, but millions of civilians died. rules in war....war crimes there all just reasons for the winners of a war to punnish the losers more. You can say it war total war... but it dosent change the fact that nonthreating civilians died. we hide the ugly truth of what we did behind these words.

@hunteraja would you like to name them one by one? where are you going with this. Did we have one death camp? I don't think so. Who established you as the judge of a war crime or not. The Japanese and Germans are clearly.."extemely above aboard guilty." It is hard to split hairs in a fire fight. However driving up on an entire camp built around barbaric long term starvation, gassing, and Cremation is much different. Do you see us the same as them? just curious...do you?...

@giannivee1 i never said we did more, just that we did commit them. im not comparing what we did to the massive amout of crimes they commited. im just saying we did things to, people only look at what they did and say how perfect we were but we did the same stuff to.

@PsychoGirlHere and comment on it later from their arm chairs as if they are right and better able to judge...

[giannivee1]

@hunteraja ok, on an individual soldier level, someone goofed, I don't think Eisenhower got with Patton and said, ok, lets make it policy from now on to have our men kill all Waffen SS troops. On the other hand, Japan and Germany as a matter of policy ran death camps and the Japanese actually conducted biological experiments on USA and UK prisoners as a matter of Policy. The German policy killed millions in Death Camps. There is a difference between us and the Axis in WWII

@giannivee1 sorry but yea we did... there are cases were we shot pows, mostly ss soldiers trying to surrender. im not going to defent nazis but we did kill them wich is a war crime.. there are crimes commited in every war on all sides. to say we didnt commit war crimes is a very ingnorant statement. Yes it was Total war and i dont regret the atomic bombs or the firebombings. im just saying we wernt perfect.
