What's wrong with killing the few to save the many?
If it's wrong, then how would you save the world?

If you can't save everyone then kill everyone.

>>146847530
Because elevens don't get the fact you gotta drop a few bombs to end the war.

well, what do you mean?

Objectively nothing, but no one wants to be one of the few who get sacrificed or the person who has to kill them.

>>146847924
Then if you were the one, would you kill them?

If not sacrificing a few people equals letting the world be destroyed, then it's the same as killing everyone.

Though that's probably true, the government of the time hardly did it for ethical reasons. Also, they could have chosen less populated areas to bomb.

Because obviously a country can surrender after a nuclear bomb and a giant country right next to them declares war in the course of two days.

If you sacrifice few you will save only the part of the world anyway. Might as well sacrifice many to save the few.

They wanted to cripple Military and industry to force Japan out of commission. The Japanese were planning to do one final battle that would result in massive casualties.

Nothing in itself, some things have to be done. But extreme measures are better saved for extreme circumstances. When your instinct is to start offing people, you start to look like a villain, which is why writers like to play with this.

Taboo Tattoo is written by the guy who drew the Fate/Zero manga. Explains the justice bullshit this anon is spamming.

>>146847530
I can't think of an instance where this would ever be relevant to the average anon's life.

>>146848658
you do realize the alternative to dropping the bombs would have been an invasion of Japan right? Consider this.

>Nips had several thousand aircraft in the homeland for kamikaze use
>they trained everybody including women and children to fight American soldiers with sticks and cleavers
>The soviets would have wanted in meaning Japan would have been split like North/South Korea
>the fact that they would literally fight to the last man meant that an invasion would have lead to the genocide of the Japanese people. They wouldn't have surrendered and we wouldn't have backed down.

Dropping the bomb was a kindness anon, actually read some military history for once, or go on /k/ they'll educate you.
>>
>>146847530
It depends who you kill anon, think about it this way, if you gotta waste say a bunch of ISIS hadjis then well no problem.

If you have to blow up a school to save a bunch of friendlies well now you got a problem.

If you kill to prevent greater numbers of casualties, then there's no difference between an enemy combatant and a civilian child if both of their lives continuing will result in more people dying.

they could've gone for someplace a bit less populated

Why not a mountain or the outskirts of a city?

>Hardly did it for ethical reasons

WOAH THERE BUDDY, SEEMS LIKE YOU DIDN'T STUDY HISTORY ENOUGH AS A KID.

Regardless of your personal feelings, the dropping of the atom bombs were a necessary cost to save untold lives both Japanese and American.

It would have been a battle where far more Japanese would have died, and god knows what would have happened if the the world at large had time to become aware of Japan's war crimes when they were riding high off the fervor over the war crimes the Nazis committed.

>>146857003
Because a big explosion does not have the same demoralizing effect as dead people you silly goose. Because if the bombs failed to convince the Japanese to quit, the ground war would have started but support from the rest of the world would have faltered when they learned of America's super bombs and might have just forced America to fight Japan alone if they got asspained enough.

Because if America had been forced to fight Japan alone, it might not have just been two bombs.
>>
>>146857126
But why have two? Clearly they planned to use both and was preparing them around the same time, and the location didn't really matter for the second one. Why the rush when Japan was almost going to face a two front war?

Hiroshima was also a secondary target. I believe Tokyo was the original target, and was only avoided because of excessive cloud cover.

>>146847530
Think of it this way, if the protagonist accepted the sacrifice, there wouldn't be a story. Finding a difficult solution to a problem makes for a better narrative than taking the easy, utilitarian option.
>>
>>146857126
>war crimes
No such thing

Also, shit thread that isn't /a/ related.
