Hiroshima was the cheif naval port of the Empire.
It played much the

There were few
of its adult inhabitants who were not working
directly or indirectly
for the military industrial complex. Additionally
it was a major army
centre where troops were being trained for
the expected invasion.

Several divisions worth. Of course our friend
cannott explain why something
allegedly targetted at only civilians was also
timed to and did in fact
take out these forces.


As for Nagasaki it was a major industrial centre
, specifically
Mitsubishi had a major aircraft plant there
that doubtless made many
of the aircraft that bombed Chinese cities.

Thanks for saving me the trouble Keith, cue
yet more revisionist anti
americanism from our friend here.

How many on the group have no use at all for revisionists? I had to read
some of their junk as a grad student taking a Historigraphy course, and I
had no use for them at all: They were Pearl Harbor revisionists, but the
POV's the same. I read them, quoted them in a paper, and once the course
was done, had no more sue for them whatsoever in any way,shape, or form.
Still don't.
