I've heard the reason Nagasaki was hit, was because Osaka was covered by clouds.

So "Nature" saved one and selected another.

Then those 2 names we all know so well, would've been different.

I'm sure there were many alternate targets in case of bad weather conditions.

So I don't believe we should get too hung up on deliberately hitting massive civilian targets of little military value.

It was a roll of the dice.

They did have many chances to surrender (as mentioned), but just like you/me today, we can't stop it/anything, we have no single voice.

It's important not to let the M-I-C gain too much power, because they will sacrifice you/me to the last man/woman/child to achieve their goals and avoid damaging their egos.

Von "Tagged" it!
