Read your write up carefully and listen to how you sound, inasmuch as you might be sounding right to yourself, you are very wrong to those of us who are abreast with the rules of war. intentionally killing unarmmed civilians during war is crime of war.

1949 and 1977 came after 1945. When and how is it sensible to retroactively lodges charges of crimes?

You’re right.
77 years later, the death and destruction is still acknowledged because mankind lived to tell. This was a means to an end.

The bloodthirsty terrorists on this forum beg, pray for nuclear war, and praise Putin but are too daft to realize the nuclear reactor being bombed can potentially melt the Earth’s core. If that or the nukes they’re wishing are launched by either side are launched, no one will be around to mark the any anniversaries.
Very well said @1stGenAmerican.
I trust you're doing mad cool in
TX.

I'm sort of glad that the Russian ambassador to Japan was at the 77th anniversary 3 days ago in
Hiroshima and he matter-of-factly said in his speech in the presence of the Japanese PM and the UN
Secretary-General that Russia would never use nuclear weapons.

My firm conviction is that countries with extremist religious ideologies such as Iran, Afghanistan, etc, must never, ever be allowed to lay their hands on high-grade nuclear technologies. Pakistan (which has a majority Muslim population) already has nukes from the 1970s just like her Indian next door neighbor and rival.

Pakistan, China and North Korea must be prevailed upon not to ever sell nuclear technologies in any
form to radical Islamists or religious extremist countries who would not bat an eyelid before using it in a
doomsday scenario.


Stay safe. Ciao. wink

before the Geneva convention of 1949 there was the Hague convention of 1907 and the Geneva convention of 1925.

"The Hague Conventions were among the first formal statements of the laws of war and war crimes in the body of secular international law"

Have you watched and listened to the survivals of the Hiroshima bombing? Did you know little children under the age of 5 who were in school, were all roasted alive the day your American B29 Superfortress flew over Hiroshima and dropped that bomb?

Innocent men and women were killed, babies were killed. And Hiroshima went on to suffer for many more years as a result of the radiation caused by the bomb.

Well , do not forget the Nanking massacre



History.com
In late 1937, over a period of six weeks, Imperial Japanese Army forces brutally murdered hundreds of thousands of people–including both soldiers and civilians–in the Chinese city of Nanking (or Nanjing). The horrific events are known as the Nanking Massacre or the Rape of Nanking, as between 20,000 and 80,000 women were sexually assaulted. Nanking, then the capital of Nationalist China, was left in ruins, and it would take decades for the city and its citizens to recover from the savage attacks.
Preparing for Invasion

Did you know? Once one of China's most prosperous cities and industrial centers, Nanking took decades to recover from the devastation it experienced. Abandoned as the national capital in 1949 for Beijing, it grew into a modern industrial city during the communist period and today is home to many of China's largest state-owned firms.

...
There are no official numbers for the death toll in the Nanking Massacre, though estimates range from 200,000 to 300,000 people. Soon after the end of the war, Matsui and his lieutenant Tani Hisao, were tried and convicted for war crimes by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East and were executed. Anger over the events at Nanking continues to color Sino-Japanese relations to this day.

the rape of nanking was one of the worst atrocities committed against humanity no doubt about that. But At least Japanese were charged with war crimes and executed after the war.

Do you also know that during the occupation of Germany US, soviets and British soldiers raped about 190 thousand German women between the ages of 14 and 65 years. Young German boys trying to protect their mothers and sisters from being raped where shot and killed right in front of their mothers.

It should also be noted that an estimate of about 700 thousand German civilians were killed by US and soviet troops during the invasion of Germany? but US, British and soviet soldiers did not face charges of war crimes for this after the war, can I please ask why?

AlphaTaikun:

@Ahmback,

To be brutally honest, it was "kinda justified" because Imperial Japan was proving stubborn even after the Germans had surrendered during WW11. The Japs kept on fighting (and we know that many Nigerian and West African servicemen were on active duty against the Japanese in Burma [now Myanmar]. The Africans in the Colonial Armies fought bravely against the hardened Japanese).


On the other hand, the targets in Hiroshima and Nagasaki had NO MAJOR MILITARY facilities or significance [just like the Allied bombing of civilian targets in Dresden, Germany, popularly called the "fire-bombing of Dresden." Over 100,000 innocent German men, women and children died and were burned and/or partially burned to ashes during the several air-raids on Dresden].

War can be that brutal!
You're only being brutally Stu. Peed and not honest.
99% of the bomb victims were innocent civilians.
It's like Nigerian army fighting with a country and the country retaliates by bombing down your state killing you and your entire generation.

HOW IS THAT JUSTIFIED?

SOME DAY, I KNOW JAPAN WILL STILL TAKE THEIR VENGEANCE ON USA.... SOME DAY.

the bombing of pearl harbor was targetted at military personnel, while the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a deliberate act to slaughter unarmed civilians, women, children and even babies, its a perfect description of war crimes and crime against humanity.
Thank you!
The USA got the opportunity to test their new nuclear bombs.
They decided to drop it in Japan.
I don't think the Japanese will forgive the US for that

That's not true, the atomic bombs were not needed. The Japanese were already losing the war. Their people were already impoverished including their soldiers too. The US needed to see what an atomic bomb could do and they did. End of.

USA attracted the attacks themselves because they were hungry to enter the war. It was a planned calculated move to justify why they went into the war.
