No, the
invention and development of the atomic bomb, and the hydrogen bomb, and the neutron bomb was immoral because the specific intended purpose of that invention was to create a weapon of such destructive magnitude that its very existence would dissuade anyone from ever using it on the false premise that humanity would recoil from the very concept. The development of the atomic bomb was a pure terrorist act specifically intended to terrorize people, specifically the Japanese people but eventually every person on earth as nukes proliferated, and its invention and development were therefore utterly immoral and completely unethical.
Yet you advocate murdering millions of innocent civilians in Syria just because ISIS is based there.
You're a liar. I have never advocated doing that. You have however repeatedly erected this false accusation of a strawman.
And you berate government and military for making the bomb,
Yup.
yet in the next post bleat your Merca rah rah rah nonsense that your cause is "just"?
Indeed.
Whose fucking cause?
The American cause of freedom, liberty, and righteousness of course. There is no other just cause.
Your government's and military's. What is the difference now to then?

Killing an enemy soldier in combat is distinguishable from wiping out entire civilizations with nuclear weapons as a terror tactic intended to induce an enemy not to engage in belligerent behavior.
