Why did we not nuke Germany?
Someone with 8 posts a day surely has all the correct answer.
Study up on your history, son.
1. By the time our nuclear bombs were ready to be deployed, Germany had alread been defeated.
2. We didn't have any more bombs. We told the Japanese, "we'll obliterate you from the face of the earth if you don't surrender", but that was a bluff... we didn't have any more nuclear bombs at that time.
3. If the Allies had relied upon a ground war to end the war in Japan, it would have likely cost 1 million lives.. half of that Americans. Dropping the bomb was the lesser of evils.. for both sides. Of course, the Japanese COULD have surrendered prior to that... after all, the Allies kicked their butts all across the Pacific.... the Japanese could have gotten the message.
Easy to see you never faced the possibility of an enemy having you in their sights... or that you ever served in the military in any capacity..
Only "8 posts per day"... because I'm restraining myself. If I bothered to respond to every stupid, dumb-ass spew, I'd have 100 per day, minimum.
