Like the Pearl Harbor vs. 9/11 thread. Which was a worse? Which was more necessary?
Hiroshima was infinitely worse and not necessary at all. Drop the first A-bomb in a field and politely ask for surrender. Drop the next A-bomb in a smallish town and ask less politely. Drop the last one on Tokyo. We'd probably never have had to drop the second and third bombs.
The US started with a town and still had to drop a second.
Hiroshima was necessary because the Japs refused to surrender.
Too bad for them.

We've already been through this, and you were unable to back up this assertion.
You mean you already lost and now you're lying.
Hiroshima killed over a hundred thousand people. That's a pretty high bar on the brutality scale to top.Like the Pearl Harbor vs. 9/11 thread. Which was a worse? Which was more necessary?
Anyone that takes a quick look through that thread will realize that I was the one that provided overwhelming evidence to support my case whereas you simply resorted to statements like this.
I don't see the connection between torture and exterminating an entire population...
am I missing something?
The entire population of Hiroshima was not exterminated.
The entire population of Hiroshima was not exterminated.
And so, it took two boimbs to force the surrender, because...?No, they didn't. No bomb drops were needed, as the Japanese were already willing to surrender.

If you're right -- why didn't they surrender -before- the bombs were dropped?It didn't take two bombs to force the surrender, as the Japanese were willing to surrender before the bombs were dropped
It didn't take two bombs to force the surrender, as the Japanese were willing to surrender before the bombs were dropped, as I've already outlined in the other thread and backed up with substantial evidence.
