TOKYO FIREBOMBING: 75,000–100,000 civilian deaths in one night; roughly 1,000,000 displaced.

The first to arrive dropped bombs in a large X pattern centered in Tokyo's working class district near the docks; later aircraft simply aimed near this flaming X. Approximately 15.8 square miles (4,090 ha) of the city were destroyed and 100,000 people are estimated to have died in the resulting conflagration, more than the immediate deaths of either the atomic bombings of Hiroshima or Nagasaki.^[10] After this raid, the USAAF continued with low-altitude incendiary raids against Japan's cities, destroying an average of 40% of the built-up area of 64 of the largest cities.^[11]

So we can both agree that the 66,000 killed and 69,000 injured at Hiroshima
and the 39,000 killed and 25,000 injured at Nagasaki was overkill?

We agree that you're a leftist using leftist arguments, and nothing else. Back to Ignore with you, pothead.

I didn't know that General Douglas MacArthur or General Curtis Lemay were considered "leftists".
