You have done so repeatedly by claiming that there was an 'alternative'
where none existed.

Just point out where I claimed that the alternative would involve zero
casualties.

So why did you assert it then f*ckwit, other than specious and facile
moralising that is.

You haven't, you selectively quoted the bombing survey figures but were
too
stupid to figure out that 2/3s of all bombs dropped fell more than 1000
feet from the target.

Liar - point out where I made any claim that is supported by what
you fabricate here.

Message-ID:

"Bombing accuracy increased substantially, and averaged 35 to 40 percent
within 1,000 feet of the aiming point in daylight attacks from 20,000 feet
or lower."

Like all trolls you eventually start contradicting yourself.


Ahhh, its manages to contradict itself yet again through complete
cluelessness.

When only 35-40% of the bombs fall within 1000' feet of the
target, an aircraft factory etc is a point target.

I suggest finding out what 'C' means in CEP.

What do you think
a point target is - one of your non-existent backyard workshops.

YOu havent read those bombing surveys too well now have you troll, in
particular pay attention to where it details how *hard* is was to destroy
machine tools depite HE destroying the buildings which contained them.


They clearly couldn't accurately target any facility in anywhere when
2/3rds of bombs dropped fell more than 1000 feet from the aimpoint.

Or have you forgotten those inconvenient bombing survey figures yet idiot.

Since I am the one who pointed them out, that hardly seems likely, moron.

Yet they they considered that half that accuracy was sufficient to warrant
precision bombing in Germany.

they didnt. You have no comprehension of the meaning of what was written.

Like DUH! One generally finds large urban areas around key facilities
such
as ports, dockyards and regional military headquarters controlling tens of
thousands of personnel.

Then why make it a requirement.

You think ports, dockyards and military headquarters manage to run them
selves now do you ?

so about fifty
planes could have been left behind unless the aim was specifically
kill civilians,

Of course you will tell us how anti personnel bombs which 'specifically
kill civilians' would managed to kill those who would have been warned at
least 45 mins before hand by air raid sirens and are now sitting in bomb
shelters.

Since I suggested that such bombs not be carried,

Yes that was most amusing. 2nd guessing life of death decisions made by
mean whose boots you aren't fit to clean. Its a pity 'Weary' Dunlop isnt
about to knock some sense into your miserable PC skull.

your question is
ridiculous.

No, you're to stupid to figure out that anti personnel bombs were carried
to suppress attempts at fire fighting, not to 'specifically kill
civilians'.


given that the vast majority of casualties were civilians.

'civilians' who were providing the means to murder millions of real
civilians across the pacific. Tough.

All 70000 in Hiroshima - sure.

LMAO! So the 15-20000 odd thousand troops who were killed by the bomb were
'civilians' too were they.

At last you endorse total war - this is where I came into the argument.
You believe it is alright to wage total war on others , but when someone
wages total war on you (11 Sept) you call it terrorism and criminal -
hypocrite.

No, the only hypocrite here is the fool who asserts that it was immoral to
use every means necessary to defeat a foe who was murdering 10000 chinese
civilians every day the war continued.



A far cry from the figures (3600-6000)you pluck out of the air above.

You're the one claiming that B29s could accurately target anything
without
causing collateral damage, not I.

Once again you are lying - point out where I made that claim.
Most of your argument seems to rely on fabricated claims
about what I have said.

Ohhh, Its changing tack again, would that be like claiming an aircraft
plant is a precision target.


Very hard to do when the initial CEP for B29 operations was 6%.

A few post ago CEP was 1000 yards and now it is 6% - what are the
units for measuring CEP?

I suggest you find out, I am not here to continue your limited education.

You haven't, all you've done is peddle revisionist agit-prop, your
hilarious nonsense about anti personnel bombs being the latest emission of
pomo moralising.

???? Calm down and take your meds.

"Since I suggested that such bombs not be carried, "

Given you clearly hadnt a *clue* why they were carried. Your tedious
moralising asserted they were carried to attack civilians.




It doesn't have to. There was nothing illegal or immoral in using a weapon
which ended the war and saved the lives of nearly 1 million allied POWs
and
Internees held by the Japanese.

We don't know that it did that or that it had to bu used at all.


We do know you miserable peon. I suggest you figure out figure out what
'magic' was to see why.


" They still relied, however, on plants employing less than 250 workers
for
subcontracted parts and equipment. Many of these smaller plants were
concentrated in Tokyo and accounted for 50 percent of the total industrial
output of the city. Such plants suffered severe damage in urban incendiary
attacks. "

So in your fantasy world , a plant employing 250 people is a backyard
workshop. My turn to LMAO

I suggest you read it again troll, there is nothing quoted about plants
employing precisely 250 people. There is a quote which details that 50% of
tokyos industrial output was produced by plants producing *less* than 250
people.
