Has it occurred to you to not do this? While certainly true in general, there are quite a few nations that are significantly less violent that we are.
I totally get what your saying, but I didn't do a good enough job of explaining why I omitted the Japanese body count........ It's because I don't care. I don't worry about the dead from the opposing tribe. They were the aggressor. They tied to kill us. They did kill lots of us. However many of them it took to kill before they submitted is inconsequential to me. As is the manner in which it occurred.
Well the good news is that no one cares about your feelers, and our civil rights don't depend on your opinion of what they should be.
At the moment. That's changing for many. Europe is slowly catching fire. Comparing apples to apples, the US does quite well.
Think any of this holds any water??? https://relampagofurioso.com/2017/1...as-another-chapter-in-state-sponsored-terror/
In one incident? I get the point you're trying to make but how did you come up with this garbage? The pushback starts when people claim to know for a fact how many were "saved." See, at least, that's honest.
Well, I don't pretend to offer any actual amount or count of how many were saved. Just going by what it would have taken to undertake an actual amphibious invasion and going by what I have read leave me to believe without question that ultimatly lives were saved. How many? No idea. "If there’s even one thing we can do, if there’s just one life we can save—we've got an obligation to try.”
Well, you think wrong. Violent crime is down over 50% in the last 20 years. But I encourage you to NOT take my word for it. Go the the FBI website and download the data for yourself.
Millions. "In fact, the casualties from the U.S. strategic conventional bombing campaign greatly eclipsed the number of individuals who died from the atomic bombings. The March 1945 firebombing of Tokyo alone killed some120,000 Japanese. A ground invasion would have resulted in nearly immeasurable more casualties. As one scholar who studied the U.S. invasion plan, Operation Downfall, notes: “depending on the degree to which Japanese civilians resisted the invasion, estimates ran into the millions for Allied casualties and tens of millions for Japanese casualties.” https://thediplomat.com/2014/08/how-hiroshima-and-nagasaki-saved-millions-of-lives/
I know these percentage and I am not dispiting it. I am saying the trend could and will change. The political atmosphere , immigration, religions , failure of the American experiment might be the causes of that change. I hope I am wrong. As you see the Extrem views are taken over here and abroad.
