Why do people still accept the argument that dropping atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians indiscriminately was “necessary” and "justified"? A part of the problem is that many people readily accept the weakest of excuses and can justify such crimes. Most people do not know that 67 Japanese cities had been firebombed before the two atomic bombs were used. US General Curtis LeMay, who commanded the firebombing of Japanese cities and killed up to 500,000 civilians, later admitted that he would have been tried as a war criminal if the US lost the war. Robert McNamara (Secretary of Defense under President Kennedy) who had worked under LeMay for the firebombing of Japanese cities admitted later that they were behaving as war criminals in the documentary, “The Fog of War.” If we accept destroying cities and killing civilians indiscriminately were not war crimes, then what is? Do you believe what Putin is doing in Ukraine is not a war crime, then?
