Not mere criminals per se. From what my teacher said, they were soldiers.

No. It isn't true. Just stick to what your teacher tells you. Sometimes the teacher is wrong, but if you go listening to stuff like this you'll end up completely deluded.

So it seems. Even children. So noble.

Not simply select soldiers! Sure it was soldiers who carried out the action, but they were doing so under command of the Japanese military. Were you awake in history class?

You're all a bunch of retards. They were NOT soldiers, they were officers.

We were talking about this in US history during this last summer school...

In my opinion, I think that it was dropped for the reason of speeding up the war. If we had not dropped it, the war would be more costly in American lives and American money.

Basically, Truman saved more American lives, but the Japanese were substituted to make Victory in Pacific.

Though, at this point because of island hopping methods, we did trap the Japanese onto their original homeland... but I'm ONLY guessing that maybe the same amount of lives lost in the bombings would happen in "general" warfare if we didn't.

But I don't think a second bomb was really necessary...

I also think the idea of Pearl Harbor kind of comes in mind with the choice of bombing. The Japanese did a surprise attack with bombs and airforce in Hawaii... so the idea of revenge may come back up?
