Someone want to explain to me how the atomic bombings were any different from 9/11? Both were aimed to kill, injure and terrorize large amounts of civillians. America could actually be worse as it is a uniformed power acting that way.
The nukes saved countless lives on both sides and shortened the pacific campaign by years by forcing the nips to surrender. 9/11 saved nobody, it killed 3000 Americans and and unknowable amount of raghead civilians over the last 15 years.
>Attack 2 military targets using military means to decisively end a bloody 5 year war and preventing a more destructive invasion and half of Japan from falling under the foot of Communism
vs
>Using civilian means to attack civilian targets for no real reason
Gee, I wonder.

In the off chance that this isn't bait...the atomic bombs were to end a bloody war that we didn't start and saved 10s of thousands of American lives not having to try and take Japanese main land where all of the civilians were training for guerilla warefare.
9/11 was simply for murder and terrors sake.

>>32456625
The point of 9/11 was actually to draw the US into the trap is was protected ground wars in the middle east, thus bankrupting the country and the pussy civilian's will to continue hostilities.
This ending what was seen as the US led Wests bloody occupation of and meddling in the Islamic world.

>millions of muslims dead

The atomic bombings saved more japanese lives then they took
fuck off retard baiter

>america balls deep in multiple arab countries now
Congrats on your 10th grade history lesson completion, OP.
Like most things in life, nothing is that simple. It was not simply about Japan.
>>32456570
let me guess OP, youre japanese and you want the US to oppologize, right?
wont happen, look at the losses that the Japanese took in the island campaigns like Guadalcanal, they refused to surrender, they fought to the death, even civilians commit suicide. OP, the only reason you are alive right now shit posting is that your parents and grand parents were saved from an invasion that would have killed the majority of the civilian population of Japan. You can be very thankful that the US invented the nuclear technology that saved the life of your family and allowed you to be born.
NOW FUCK OFF GOOK

look at the gook try and make an argument with his little yellow mind: oh the arabs wanted to be made pussies by the white devil so they did 9-11
that makes sense gookboy, now commit haricari
>>32458668
Can you into English? Also nothing you said connect 9/11 to the Atomic bombs.
>>32456570
One ended a war while the other started one.
Anyone got a pic of the flyers the U.S. dropped before bombing? They were supposed to warn civilians that the area was going to be bombed but were confiscated by the Japanese government/military to save face or some bullshit.
>>32456570
Japan and the US were both recognized countries officially at war, and used military personel and gear.
I think the americans are a bit too quick to excuse/ignore their war crimes most of the time, but you're retarded.
Let's be honest, if the nazis had nuked NY just before their defeat, the americans would be completely outraged to this day. But it's still not comparable with 9/11.
>>32456570
World War 2 had long been a strategic war, where countervalue targeting was practiced by all sides. The nuclear bombings were to help force the surrender of Japan, and looking at what happened during the invasion of Okinawa with the civilian population, a ground invasion was unlikely to be a kinder option, especially considering the starvation caused by the targeting of Japanese shipping by submarines and mines.
Fun Fact: The Operation Meetinghouse air raid on Tokyo, on the 9th of March 1945 caused more destruction and death than any other air raid of the war, including the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki.
>>32458668
Actually it's the opposite. They thought the US would treat 9/11 as a police matter instead of a military matter. They never thought Bush would lead a full scale military invasion of Afghanistan, they thought they could continue to carry out terrorist attacks after laying low for a little bit.
>>32456570
The Saudis didn't drop leaflets warning about the upcoming attack like America did to Japan with the atomic bombings.
>>32456614
I love that argument how the nukes "saved lives on both sides" evethough they affected the lives of hundreds of thousands of japanese people. The explosions alone killed roughly 150 000 people instantly, those who survived the blast, were affected by the extreme heat, nuclear waste and other shit, causing a painful and longing death. Their offspring and generations to come were also affected indirectly, so that accumulates to several thousand casualties easily.
That is by no standards ever a deed that can be accepted, no matter what the winner-written history says. In that regard your "3000 burgers" killed in a terrorist act is absolutely nothing compared to the crime towards a nation the burgers did in '45.

Lol
Bataan.
Comfort Women.
Nanking.
Unit 731.
Pearl Harbor.
Two nukes weren't enough.
>>32462082
Considering the bloodbath Operation Downfall would have been for both sides, you should be glad the atom bombs killed relatively so little people.
This is hilarious considering there's an Operation Downfall thread on /k/ right now

If you're running with the whole "entire cities of civilians dead" argument, you should be complaining about the firebombing of Tokyo instead. Is a weapon capable of producing single incredibly destructive event worse than a firebombing raid of thousands of incendiaries?
>>32456570
>>32462082
Are you incapable of comparing two numbers or something? Way more than 150k would have died in Operation Downfall you dumbass.
>>32456570
Do they teach you in American school system that they're different?

I have yet to hear a good reason for Nanking although granted the Chinese over play the death toll.
>>32456619
And we did carpet the potential target cities with warning leaflets. Before both strikes.
>mfw so many people justify 240,000+ dead civilians because "well, what woulda happened was..."
>>32463175
>240k or 24 million + soviet invasion
hmmm choices, choices
>>32463184
resulting in the soviets ruling the world and killing 1000 gorillion more
