    It’s so fucking crazy how many people hold this view when it’s obvious horseshit, and even most of the US commanders later regretted it.

      By their logic, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Austin, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Sacramento, and countless other US cities deserve to be nuked in response to American war crimes. Bet they'll have a change of heart when their loved ones crumble to ashes in their beds and they themselves die after 3 months of pure agony from radiation exposure

        I always like to remember that we still cannot read Madame Curie's notebooks without protection. Radiation in warfare is criminal. It simply has to be, there is no other way that you could possibly look at it. You can't justify condemning generations, literal infants, because of the sins of their forefathers. No enemy is worth incinerating at the cost of future babies, literally born to die after short and miserable lives, in the 'peacetime' achieved afterward. That is hollow. Unbearably hollow.
