I always find it fascinating that people even ignore the simple fact that American soldiers were more than capable of war crimes themselves.
Disregarding their conquered nations, disregarding the millions of soldiers that would die, far, far more civilians would have died in the invasion under equally horrible conditions.

It is just incontrovertible fact that the bombs lessened human suffering by an incomprehensible degree.
