I disagree, and the first time we used nukes on each other was completely justified.
Do some research into WWII-era Japan. They were horrific, just as bad as the Nazis and worse in many cases. They weren't going to surrender without being nuked. Military leaders even plotted overthrowing the prime minister after they were nuked so they could keep fighting and keep killing.
If the Allies had gone through with their invasion, it would have been a bloodbath with several times more deaths, both civilian and military, than what we got with Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Right now it's 'cool' to revise history and say things like "Japan shouldn't have been nuked" or "the US civil war wasn't about slavery."
Open your eyes. Don't let the sensationalized crowds lead you astray; they don't know any better.
Umm, ok.
I guess you never learned how to admit when you're incorrect.
Yeah, this is part of the mental gymnastics you go through to protect your ego. You can't be wrong if the person correcting you is on a new social media account or your comments are x days old, lol. I said nothing in bad faith, so you're just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.
I used to expect more from people like you, but now I see more reasons why I shouldn't.
The next-generation's brains are fried because they've been conditioned to think they're perfect all the time. You are incapable of taking criticism without throwing a tantrum and attacking the criticizer.
