Obviously killing over 100,000 people isn't ethical, but it isn't that simple. This is war time and certain sacrifices should be made. Whether civilians should be sacrificed is another question. Civilians shouldn't be killed during wartime. However, compared to acts in WW2 such as the firebombing of Tokyo which killed over 100,000 people in a few days, the atomic bomb isn't as drastic as people think. It wasn't ethical, but the ends justified the means. ]]> 2020-09-25 14:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lrega/6nk48pkaqvua/wish/779376449 https://padlet.com/lrega/6nk48pkaqvua/wish/779376907 I think it was ethical to drop a bomb on just one of the cities but not both.

Dropping the nuclear bomb resulted in about 180,000 deaths, but on the other hand, continuing the war may have ended up with even more casualties.

UCMJ article 118 states "The killing of a human being is unlawful when done without justification or excuse." This is for service members but aimed at the killing of anyone, mainly innocent people.

Nuclear disarmament would prevent the use of nuclear weapons while also allowing nuclear energy to be used for more ethical causes, such as in the medical field.
