"No the best way to stop war is make the enemy know they have no hope like we did in WWII. Many agree with the USA nuking Japan we saved lives on both sides."
- True, but it also the most unethical when using civillian lives as the resource to burn to send that message. Which, that's what nukes did. When that happened, Japan surrendered. The only people that agree that bombing Japan saved lives, are United States Citizens, which is a biased view.
It's one thing to drop a bomb like that for the first time on a populace not knowing the total extent of devastation that would occur. It's understandable not to apologize for the actions which took place in history as we simply weren't there to understand all the nuanced facets that came with that decision.
Now? Having been in those shoes? Having been there? Seeing what it has done? Is absolutely despicable to even suggest.
"These are the people you defend? I bet you have never actually talked to one."
Being that we're going for anecdotal fallacies, let me supply you with one.
My brother served in the Marine Corps on three different tours. I don't know what outfit he was with, but he was mostly in Afghanistan. The one thing I've noticed between him and his buddies is they don't like to talk about their experiences much. Yet, here you are spouting it like it's something to brag about.
Equally, I could easily make up some story about what unit I served under any given division. Stolen Valor is something people aren't shy about on the internet because, like the anecdotal fallacy, it can't be disproven.
Have I spoken to an Israeli? Or a Muslim? Or a Jew? What's the point in asking. It's anecdotal evidence to the discussion.
The point is, what you're suggesting is inhumane. Nuclear devices are never okay.
I can't connect the dots that someone from the right wing, who is all about pro-life, would be about a device that would indiscriminately kill hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of women and children.
Smh.
