You mean the 6 million civilians that Hitler killed weren't innocent?

And saved hundreds of thousands of American soldiers. That's what

We killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, investor. Nobody else did.

Nobody except for the Germans, Soviets, Japanese, etc.

Do you think it makes a difference to the dead whether they died as a result of a nuclear device or the tip of a bayonet?

given the choice of the sneaky Japanese or our good men in a fight for japan, we made the correct call. That does not excuse the civillian loss, however better them than the allied manpower it would have taken to defeat Japan on the island. last post on this.
