And the firebombings, and the absolute castration of Japan afterwards, which to be fair, was kind of necessary given the empire's history of being irredeemable douchebags. They're better now, which is what makes this whole thing so unfair.cyrogeist said:Dude...people are assholes and besides...weren't the NUKES payback?
