im krieg sterben zivilisten, das ist ein fakt. während der allierten landung in der normandie starben 20.000 französiche zivilisten auch durch allierte bomber, während der bodenoffensive und durch schiffs- und feldartillerie.
hätte man frankreich den nazis überlassen sollen?
die amerikaner wollten duurch die atombomben das leben ihrer eignen soldaten schonen, was absolut legitim ist wenn man bedenkt das japan den usa den krieg erklärt hat.
die schlacht um okinawa zeigt gut wie hoch die verluste bei einer invasion japans gewesen wären. auf okinawa starben mehr menschen als bei den atombombenabwürfen.
der japanischen führung war das leben der eigenen bevölkerung vollkommen egal und man hätte bereitwillig millionen geopfert um das imperium zu erhalten.
Wikipedia: Volunteer Fighting CorpsEmperor Hirohito personally found the threat of defection of Japanese civilians disturbing.[2] Much of the community was of low caste, and there was a risk that live civilians would be surprised by generous U.S. treatment. Native Japanese sympathizers would hand the Americans a powerful propaganda weapon to subvert the "fighting spirit" of Japan in radio broadcasts. At the end of June, Hirohito sent out an imperial order encouraging the civilians of Saipan to commit suicide.[2] The order authorized the commander of Saipan to promise civilians who died there an equal spiritual status in the afterlife with those of soldiers perishing in combat. General Hideki Tōjō intercepted the order on 30 June 1944 and delayed its sending, but it went out anyway the next day. By the time the Marines advanced on the north tip of the island, from 8–12 July 1944, most of the damage had been done.[2] 1,000 Japanese civilians committed suicide in the last days of the battle to take the offered privileged place in the afterlife, some jumping from "Suicide Cliff" and "Banzai Cliff".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65EShYbK5ww (Video: 1944 SAIPAN - Japanese Women Choose Suicide)The Battle of Okinawa ran up 72,000 US casualties in 82 days, of whom 12,510 were killed or missing (this is conservative, because it excludes several thousand US soldiers who died after the battle indirectly, from their wounds.) The entire island of Okinawa is 464 sq mi (1,200 km2). If the US casualty rate during the invasion of Japan had been only 5% as high per unit area as it was at Okinawa, the US would still have lost 297,000 soldiers (killed or missing).
Nearly 500,000 Purple Heart medals were manufactured in anticipation of the casualties resulting from the invasion of Japan. To the present date, all the American military casualties of the 60 years following the end of World War II, including the Korean and Vietnam Wars, have not exceeded that number. In 2003, there were still 120,000 of these Purple Heart medals in stock.[54] There are so many in surplus that combat units in Iraq and Afghanistan are able to keep Purple Hearts on-hand for immediate award to soldiers wounded on the field.[54]
nur wenn man den pazifikkrieg auch wirklich kennt und weiß wie grausam und verlustreich der krieg war kann man den einsatz der atombombe nachvollziehen. jemand der bestenfalls pearl harbor und hiroshima kennt kann es nicht verstehen.
