Flocks of feasting crows and raiding Europe would be more or less macabre than nuclear weapons? People killing each other is a shitty business, regardless of the tools used.
Your "noble" turkish warriors are interchangeable with the pilots of the Enola Gay in this regard. Both were monsters to those they attacked.
You've made it a habit to appeal to hypocrisy when speaking about your ancestors, or your plans for the future. Do you know why that doesn't hold water (beyond it being an absolutely shitty argument in and of itself regardless of the subject)? Because you're the only one making excuses in either case. Show of hands, who extolls the virtues of the great and noble pilots of Enola Gay? -not this guy- You know we've always had mixed feelings about this, even before the damned bomb was dropped. But I bet you figured we were all just sitting here frothing at the mouth to annihilate a city. Why do you imagine we decided to give it the go?
