Of course..there are atrocities in war. To think that there is not..is foolish and naive. It is the level and scale of these acts that set us apart. I do not think you can equate the Rape of Nanking, the slaughters in Singapore & Manilla, and the Bataan Death March, to allied soldiers killing some war prisoners....for whatever reasons. Maybe you can. In case you might want to look... prion.bchs.uh.edu be forewarned...the photos in the gallery are very raw. As for the dropping of Fat Man and Little Boy. I think it was an absolute necessity, and I don't think I should be tried to made feel guilty for thinking so. We had to win the war...and if we hadn't dropped the bombs, we would have had to invade Japan. To think otherwise, is promoting revisionist history. The civilian population of Japan would probably have fought to the last man standing. With the then current kill ratio, it is conceivable that 1 million American lives and 20 million Japanese would have died...or more, maybe less. The fact of the matter is this: The bombs were dropped, the Japanese surrendered, the War in the Pacific was over.
