I asked if she would accept the loss of innocent Germans as a solution to win the war or for the war to over. She says she doesnt want other people to suffer like Greeks did.
When a question is asked like that it is misleading. Asking about "innocent Germans" already gives away the questioners opinion. How questions are phrased can alter the response depending on the parties involved.
"if she knew what it could do."
I do not think even the involved Americans "knew" what it could do let alone the general population. The bomb was just recently discovered and rushed along in a weapons race taking place with a war going on.
She didnt have to know about the camps of death Shamu, Athens was like a camp of death with all the people literaly dying in the streets from hunger, the roadblocks, the arrests, the excecutions.
People were informed about German's attrocities, many many greek villages were wiped out. Houses destroyed and people murdered by SS paiying the price for the attacks of the greek partizans.
Which is I guess what happened to any occupied country with resistanse movements.
I guess I give her credit........I might still hate them today if I had endured that kind of treatment.
As for the rest you say on countries going to war and how they "behave" its one cynical point of view, which I guess its the most popular. I still believe the "bombs" were a crime of war.
Maybe, maybe not. At the time it was not outlawed in any rule of engagement like gas is today by the Geneva Conventions.
Starting a war doesnt resolve anything just causes more troubles. Germany, Italy and Japanese who started the wwII only managed to destroy their own countries and brought their horror in the countries they attacked or occupied.
It only ruined their counties because countries fought back. They did not destroy their own countries, the Allies did it for them. If the people (civilians) had resisted the war perhaps none of this would have happened. Civilians are not always as innoncent as the bleeding hearts make them out to be.
What was the last big country started a war recently? hmm ..USA. Did US war resolved anything really?
Off topic you lovable liberal........it appears you are on the defensive and scrambling
Wars is not a solution. When violence starts brings more violence and at the end you back to square 1. Will people ever learn?
naaaah

Sometimes it is better than the alternative, such as occupation and the treatment, such as what your Grandmom experienced, from the invaders.
Human nature Seven, sometimes you must fight back.
