Once Dresden fell the war ended with in a month. In short Dresden was the last city able to support the war effort.
1- The bombing of Dresden- WW2

Quote:The holocaust unleashed on Dresden had no strategic or tactical advantage whatsoever for the Americans or the British. Dresden was one of the most beautiful cities in Germany, dubbed the "Florence of the Elbe" because of its world-renowned collection of Baroque architecture. It was known as a showplace of culture. It had no military bases, no major communication centers or heavy industry. It had no air defense. In the last months of the war, it was known as "Die Lazarettstadt" - it had been declared a hospital town. It was also known as the "Fluechtlingsstadt" - the City of the Refugees.

It's no different than cowardly Islamist fighters using mosks and schools to headquarter in. If the cowards hide behind civilians then the civilians have a responsibility to leave or be deemed combatants as well.
Quote:As the incendiaries fell, the phosphorus clung to the bodies of those below, turning them into human torches. The screaming of those who were being burned alive was added to the cries of those not yet hit. There was no need for flares to lead the second wave of bombers to their target, as the whole city had become a gigantic torch. It must have been visible to the pilots from a hundred miles away. Dresden had no defences, no anti-aircraft guns, no searchlights, nothing.
In the above artical it details the german defense. It was light as the war was comming to an end, but it was indeed defended. To say otherwise is an outright lie.
Quote:====================Hiroshima was the LARGEST Japanese marsheling city for quick soldier and supply distribution incase of a main land invasion. There were several batiallions of men equipment and supplies at the time of the bombing. The reason being it was semi centrally located/hub city with roads and rail access that put it with in a day's travel of any planned invasion. Nagasaki was the Largest sea port in Japan whic not only allow the Japanese to receive provisions, but also served what was left of their navy. Which again makes it a military target. Not to mention The US dropped over 63 million leaflets warning the citizens of the comming bombs.
2-Using atomic weapons against civilians:

If their was ever a war crime committed it would be in the fire bombing of tokyo. Even Gen. LeMay said "we'd better win this war, because otherwise I will be hung as a war criminal."

Meh... One man's war crime, is another man's war.
Quote: sure is a funny way to fight a war. I mean, I have yet to even see Vietnam or Laos. I get up in the morning, have breakfast and fly off. And man, I don’t see anything – just clouds, sky and sun. I get to the coordinates on the map, drop my load and I’m back in time for beer and lunch in the base restaurant complete with air conditioning. After a nap, I usually spend the afternoon swimming.” – American B-52 pilot, Utapao Air Force Base, ThailMaybe you should also include the drone attacks, smart bombs, Special forces strikes and everything else you think that gives the west a tactical advantage.
