    Yeah, there were a lot of civilian deaths in ww2. But they largely at least tried to minimize the non-military casualties

    I feel obligated to point out that the Brits in Europe and the Americans over Japan engaged in deliberate terror bombing.

      Yeah, there are no good guys in war… Just different levels of crimes and justification from the obscene, to the grey.

      The Allies were responding to aggressors that had invaded and “terror bombed” dozens of countries for years, killing millions of civilians, while maintaining extremely high domestic support throughout… Doesn’t make terror bombing their civilians right, but it was more justifiable in context than anything the invaders did.
