"War crimes" is just a faggy concept humans invented to punish the losers as we've become more civilized. Time was the winners of a conflict would kill all the men, rape all their women, and either take over the land or salt it so nothing could ever grow.

your argument is familiar but without context

and if Hiroshima was a war crime then so was 100x other bombing campaigns in Japan and Germany. which means you’d be okay with trying thousands of officers and politicians for these crimes

I didn’t say anything about specific criminal trials. But the indiscriminate terror bombing of entire cities absolutely was morally atrocious and just as bad as Hiroshima.

Are you arguing that it should be technically classified as a war crime? Or that it was immoral / shouldn't have been done?

Surely if we are going to consider the morality of the act - we have to take into consideration the context surrounding the act? I.e. it would have cost far more JAPANESE lives had we not dropped the atomic bomb - not just operation downfall but even purely in comparison to just continuing the regular firebombing.

Also surely you're familiar with the line of thought that spread among military theorists after the Napoleonic Wars and U.S. Civil War - that the worst atrocity in war is actually having a war drag out year after year after year - such that it was actually more humane to perform some shock and awe campaign and knock your enemy out fast rather than have the war drag on which was bad for anyone.

But then this leads to the very act of waging war - is it in any way moral to start hamstringing your military with restrictions while engaged in warfare with an enemy who has no (or fewer) restrictions? Does it not at least boil down to a tradeoff of your side's military lives versus the enemy's civilian lives that you're forced to "morally quantify"?

what if you believe it knocks the enemy out sooner rather than dragging the war on?

What would be the moral strategy then? Weren't the Japanese at the very least an extreme case when we're finding Japanese soldiers in the jungles all the way into the 1970's still fighting for the emperor / still fighting ww2?

That the "true" position gets any serious discussion at all is a demonstration of how sick our society has become.

A power bent on world domination made war on their corner of the planet, then declared total war on us via a sneak attack. They acted without mercy and casually murdered everybody who stood in their way. Literally every member of their empire was a part of the war effort-- women and children were making war materials at home. Japan had the opportunity to accept the Postdam Declaration prior to the bombs being dropped and declined to do so. If they make the choice to die for their empire, then we had little choice but to keep fighting.

And after we finally save the world and defeat this monstrous power... they want to whine and complain that the bomb we used to end their reign of terror was too big and scary? Get the fuck out of here with that shit. Hypothetically, had American scientists invented a button that would incinerate the entire island of Japan and destroy every living thing on it, we would have been 100% justified in pushing it and just using the island of Japan as a landfill. Japan got off amazingly easy. Their emperor especially got off easy, he should have been executed by hanging or, at best, executed by firing squad.

Get the fuck out with this crap. We know FDR did everything in his power leading up to Pearl Habor to goad the Japs to attack the US. It was about as much of a "sneak attack" as a dood punching you after you chat up his girl, tell the bartender to not bring his drink and talk shit about him when he is in the bathroom would be.

Just look at what the US was doing with oil transports in the pacific leading up to it.

I'm not arguing that Japan was justified. I'm just saying that it was hardly a "sneak attack" as the poster above suggested and that they had at least a reasonable rationale for doing so.

True but justified as it would result in less harm. Bombing cities was always a massive war crime. But in this case, Japan and the axis were doing it too and it saved millions of lives.

Or at least it appeared it would save millions of lives. I don’t believe the “they were going to surrender anyway” argument. But it didn’t appear that way from the outside. They rebuffed all surrender negotiations.

Why don’t you argue if it’s moral to tactically nuke the Chinese or the Iranians, that’s far more relevant. WW2 was 75 yrs ago. It’s ancient thistory.

Truman didn’t even independently authorize the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs. He just told the army “start dropping them and keep dropping them until Japan surrenders. Let me know how it turned out afterwards.” Obama wouldn’t even let the military bomb a goat hut without WH sign off. LJL

Murray Sayle's essay "Did the Bomb End the War" is a good starting place for some background.

It was wrong and unnecessary, but it was clearly done with the express purpose of limiting death and violence, thus as wrong as it was, it cannot be compared to Axis or Soviet war crimes.

this is closer to my own position, but i can't so easily dismiss the decision (obviously many moving parts, decision-makers) to use the weapon *twice. there were other factors involved, including a strong desire to test a nuke, and an adjacent desire to impress/scare russia.

not that fire-bombing the cities wouldn't have had an equal (or worse) result in terms of body count. but i do think there are additional factors that have to be counted in any fair analysis of whether the overall decision was "moral", putting aside the issue of "war-crimes" per se.

From a consequentialist perspective, using the atomic bomb to scare off Russia may be justifiable if it spares Japan the horrors of the Korean War. Hindsight is 20/20 though and I don't think the people who used it were immoral, even if the act was wrong.

It's only "unnecessary" in hindsight though. Something can be a tragedy without being an atrocity.

This, however, was unambiguously an atrocity. If the deliberate annihilation of an entire city, with all the people in it, isn't an atrocity, what the fuck is?

The preceding firebombing campaign was far more destructive and costly in terms of civilian lives.

The question of whether any of these things are war crimes is laughable jewbait imo.

I'm WWII both sides engaged in atrocities. The extent to which we have educated lawyers on here arguing as to the better quality of American atrocity is scary as to its orwellian implications.

Winners decide what's a war crime. U.s. won so no these were not war crimes.

Recognize that any argument that ARE unspeakable atrocities (fire bombing and nuking children in the name of economic hegemony in the Pacific) was necessary to aid the war effort is equally applicable and as valid reasoning for anything the axis powers did.

Failure to recognize the above demonstrates a lack of objective understanding of wwii

Do we have a definition from some stupid treaty?

I'd reckon that using a WMD indiscriminately in a way that causes mass civilian death would qualify as a war crime under some definition as it should if we are going to have a thing called a war crime.
