Absolutely not. I think it would have been permissable to use on military targets though given the conditions of that war.
That about it like this if Japan had of developed nuclear weapons and nuked Los Angeles. Are you really telling me that it wouldn't have been thought of as a war crime? Would it have been justified?
If not then surely America's use of nuclear weapons against civilians is also unjust.
My thoughts exactly. As an American, I feel ashamed that the American military at the time had to resort to killing thousands of innocent people. I sincerely believe that was one of the ultimate war crime in recent history. We used two of the most destructive weapons in the world on a ISLAND country. The sheer fact that killing thousands of innocent people didn't boggle the American military's mind is something I can never comprehend.
Was the use of atomic bombs in WWII necessary?
