    The same thing can be said about Japan. A lot more people died by the hands of the Japanese Empire during WW2 than those two nukes did.

      Still, dropped it on two civilian targets.

      Imagine Russia taking out LA and NYC; you guys would never let anyone forget that no matter what

          Agreed, not a good thing. Abu Ghraib ring any bells?

          See? We can do this all day long but in the end the fact is that these “tactical nukes” weren’t used to take out parts of the command structure, but to vaporise not one but two major civilian population centres.

            Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both chosen for their military and industrial importance.

              I could probably say the same for San Fransisco if it was chosen.

                You absolutely could. San Fran was a major logistics hub during the Second World War.

                    yet it’s no big deal when done abroad.

                    I see you aren’t interested in any serious discussion considering that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are a major event in the American cultural consciousness and still evoke strong reactions even today.
