Maybe not, but it got us a victory, and thats all that matters.

Oh and the pilot who flew and dropped the bombs went crazy a few weeks after. You would too.

Thats war. You have casualities, thats what its all about. And I support nuclear weapons, as long as we're the ones using them. And I think we went to easy on the Japanese, we should have went for Tokyo. They got off lucky, we could have done a lot more.
When your in a war, or in any fight for that matter, you dont slap the other guy and walk away. You beat his freaking brains out until he's bleeding out of every hole in his body and he doesnt have enough strength left to blink. Thats how you win and keep a victory. If you just slap them until they're down, it will just leave them angry and pissed at you, and they will come back. You have to show the bastards that if they even look at you the wrong way, you'll kill them. That the next time they even imagine attacking you, that you'll make their little archipilago non-existant.
The guy who went crazy...he wasnt a very good soldier. I would go crazy, but Im not claiming to be a soldier, now am I?
