What I am arguing is that there is no particular country that does not commit atrocities during war.

There's no need to argue...i don't think anybody thinks there aren't atrocities.

It's the degree and scale that are in question.

consider the more than three hundred

What about the 300,000 Chinese in the Rape of Nanking?

That is not any kind of justification for our nuclear bombs killing a quarter million of their civilians.

I never said it was, or if you think I did...could you please point it out?

The justification came from ending the war early and saving lives...both ours and theirs.
