[Young Werther]

The firebombing of Tokyo by LeMay would kill almost as many people as the Hiroshima bomb. War is hell and whether burned by an A-Bomb or indendiary induced flames the death is horrible.

[Dansong]

Great point on firebombing. What the Allies did to Germany and Japan via firebombing certainly equals - perhaps surpasses the horror of the atomic weapons, but libs are myopic on the subject of atomic weaponry.

[Northern Yankee]

Estimates of the number killed of the fire bombing of Tokyo range between 80,000 and 200,000, a higher death toll than that produced by the dropping of the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima or Nagasaki six months later.
