Suddenly. TRUMP has to declare...

And Truman, Ike, JFK, LBJ, RMN, Ford, Jimmah, Reagan, 41, Willie Jeff, 44, & Hussain got a pass?

What kind of war crimes would have been committed had an actual invasion occurred.

LeMay’s firebombing campaign killed greater numbers than the the two bombs combined! And the
USAAF was fully prepared to burn Japan to the ground of necessary.

Remember, that fire bombs were the only effective bomb that the B-29 could employ because the wind patterns over Japan were far different than the wind patterns over Europe making high altitude bombing completely inaccurate. To inflict the most damage with this inaccuracy taken into account LeMay lowered the level of altitude thereby submitting B-29 bombers to other hazards during bombing runs, and since conventional bombs were always off target and these targets of military munitions and supply were not being hit, it was decided that firebombs would be the most effective since many Japanese cities and towns were almost entirely made of wood. So the firebomb was deployed as the most effective tool for the B-29 campaign.. and was used regularly... and was going to be scaled up in case Japan did not surrender after the only two atomic bombs in the arsenal were dropped. There were no more atomic bombs made because the nuclear material needed, could only be processed in quantity at an extremely slow rate during that time in the atomic programs history.
