Reposting this:


What Britain and America did to Germany and Japan was nowhere near as horrible what Japan and Germany did to Russia and China.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crimes_of_the_Wehrmacht#cite_ref-Wendy_71-0

Soviets got ****** hard though, apparently there were up to 10,000,000 cases of Soviet women raped by the Wehrmacht.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties#cite_ref-535

Wehrmacht also killed 7.4 million civilians with intentional acts of violence.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties#cite_ref-340

China alone suffered 7.3 million civilian deaths, 3.8 due to military activities and 3.5 due to war crimes.

If we use the maximum casualties for Japan and Germany, and the lowest for China and Russia from the chart at the top of that page, the Japanese killed over 10 times their own civilian losses to Chinese civilians, and the Germans killed over 3 times their own losses to Russian civilians. And the German one's hugely skewed because a lot of their own civilian casualties were self inflicted.

>Acting like bombing cities in order to save your own lives (and most of theirs, but that wasn't the priority) is equal to raping and slaughtering 300,000 civilians just because.

The atomic bombings were legitimate acts of war, not war crimes.

>bombing Berlin being unacceptable

Should have mentioned Dresden instead.

The united states didn't bomb innocent civilians without a purpose. We targetted a Japanese manufacturing city, gave the citizens there air dropped fliers that told them to evacuate, and then dropped one bomb. Then after the japanese didn't surrender, we did it again.

dont forget usa bombing arab civilians and calling them 'collateral damage'
User avatar #21 to #19 - battletechmech (01/01/2016) [-]
we were talking about Japan, but lets not forget that the difference between a dead civilian and a dead terrorist is whether or not a gun is around them when they died.
#41 to #21 - sturmgewehr (01/02/2016) [-]
yeah and not ever arab bombed by usa had any kind of weapon nearby

usa has made a point of shooting through civvies if it means they hit one terrorist doing so

The Axis deserved it. Japan especially.

Consider that if the US had chosen a land invasion of Japan, the conflict was expected to last well into 1946, maybe even 1947, there'd be 1/4-1/2 of a million Americans dead, and anywhere between 9 million and every single person who lived on the Japanese home islands dead. Also, they would've used anywhere between 7 and 20 nukes during the invasion. Hiroshima and Nagasaki wasn't the humane choice, just the less inhumane.

+ we're still giving out sort of the Purple Hearts that we made in preparation of the Japanese conflicts if the bomb didn't work.

>implying that britain wasn't bombed way worse

The Germans didn't have enough supplies to do a sustained bombing on the levels of what the British and Americans did.
