Were the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki mass murder? Tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children and puppies were incinerated...mass murder right?
No.
Both cities were legitimate military targets. Carpet-bombing of the cities with traditional bombing runs to destroy production capabilities would have been entirely legitimate; we did that repeatedly in Europe and were prepared to do so as part of a ground invasion of Japan. If anything, the use of atomic rather than traditional bombs greatly reduced the loss of Japanese civilian lives.
Furthermore, the Empire of Japan was in a formal state of war against the United States and had been for years. They were the aggressor at Pearl Harbor; we didn't start that fight. The Japanese decision to attack Pearl Harbor and the American decision to attack Hiroshima and Nagasaki were made at the highest levels of the military in Japan and by the highest levels of the military and civilian chain of command in the United States; both were acts of war, not mass murder.
There is no comparison between those actions and the action of a renegade staff sergeant who went out and deliberately killed more than a dozen people without any command to do so.
We'll learn more details soon, but even if the Afghans involved would have been a legitimate military target and even if the civilians would have been collateral damage, this staff sergeant acted without orders and that in and of itself makes his actions worthy of court-martial.
I think so. I think that was another inhumane choice against life made by a democrat.
