BaalChatzaf Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Sometimes crazy works. Consider the history: The U.S. nuked two large Japanese cities and what do you know? The Japanese surrendered. Transforming hundreds of thousands of Japanese women and babies into hot gas did the trick. You see, killing lots of (innocent?) people accomplishes the goal. As long as the act of the irrational mind produces the desired results, what do you care? I sure don't.What would have happened if the U.S. decided not to nuke the cities. Answer: a million more American casualties maimed or dead and ten million more dead Japanese. Rational produces a higher body count. Bob K,That was in 1945. No "smart" munitions, among other things.Just taking out General Tojo and his entourage might have achieved the objective a lot quicker. But the means to do it weren't available.Robert CFlatten whatever town or city Tojo was in and the deed is done.Ba'al Chatzaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
