> Mass intentional killing is wrong, pretty much everyone agrees with that.
In shooting war, both sides have already ceded that killing people is morally justified.
And now you're in the unenviable position arguing about how much death is too much, and what are the proper ways to kill people in a war setting.
And then you get asked moral dilemmas if killing 100,000 people is okay if it saves 1,000,000 people from dying further. This is the Hiroshima/Nagasaki question in a nutshell.
I don't know that answer, but then I didn't fight a brutal war for four years, watching my friends, family, and countrymen die at the hands of a brutal regime.
