Estimates of casualties in Nagasaki are around 40,000. While some estimates have been inflated beyond that level for Dresden,Germany, it appears that an accurate count was closer to 25,000. My point is that it wasn't just the atomic weapon that inflicted massive civilian deaths. One might argue that the atomic bomb is more efficient but I'm not sure that really matters.oljames3 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 6:58 pm I have not read the linked articles and do not intend to. Nagasaki was not the Army's first choice as a target. That decision was made in flight due to cloud cover over the primary target.
As Veteran's Day 2019 approaches, the US Army remains the only entity having used atomic weapons in war.
