    Oh, is leveling Dresden with incindiary bombs targeting “the german government?” Is nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki “targeting the japanese army?”

      Sorry, since when did anything other than land invasion end the European theater of wwII? I’m pretty sure it’s not widespread knowledge that Hitler killed himself in response to the bombing of Dresden…

      Japanese gov is irrelevant to this argument; don’t change the goalposts. It’s a different situation entirely, as the gov refused to back down after already being beaten in the actual theater of war. Bombing was the only way to avoid an incredibly costly land invasion of Japan.

      Seems like you might benefit from opening up a history book.
