This could be a touchy/controversial topic but I like how a Japanese author in here talks about the negative side of Imperial Japan during WW2 and not one-sidedly paint the American army as the sole bad guys. Let's establish something here first, the atomic bombings were war crimes. That goes without saying. But often times people paint this event as black and white. In reality, it's all pretty gray.
Yes, again, the bombings were terrible but so was what the Imperial Japanese Army was doing that partially contributed to the event leading to the bombings. I mean honestly, what Imperial Japan did during WW2 almost makes the Nazis pale in comparison. (If you're curious, just look up Unit 731 or the Rape of Nanking, to name a few).
