The list is so long. I picked the nukes because they tested the nukes, they knew what they would do. They chose not to bomb Tokyo because they needed someone left alive to surrender. They did it...twice. Almost completely consisting of civilian casualties.

Most of my fellow Americans do not carry shame for it. I do.

America also engaged in a sustained fire bombing campaign that killed hundreds of thousands.
