Re: Re: Re: Re: Wicked.
First, Japanese surroundered in WWII exactly because of those 'big explosions' (aka nuclear bombs) - go and read some historical materials.
Second, the war in Vietnam is nothing compare to a world war ... mentality is VERY different. World wars are like death battles, winning would be critical to the survival of either countries, both sides would use anything to win (including nuclear weapons). While as losing the war in Vietnam does NOT impose any immediate threat to US people or their government. In peace time, no one would dare to use nuclear weapons against other countries simply because there would be tremendous pressure from other nations who are neither your 'best friends' nor your 'worst enemies'. But in the WWs, you have only 1) your allies 2) you enemies 3) countries thats too scared to give a shit. You allies wont oppose your action, and you wont give a damn about the opinion from the rest of the world.
Therefore in the next world war, the use of nuclear weapons would be inevitable. (Although I would suspect people would be more careful about going into it precisely because they know it!)
Bear in mind, the world wars are actually the power struggles between two sets of super powers, both side will be possessing large amount of nuclear war heads.
And you think when I talked out 'nuclear explosions' I was talking about painless deaths? NO! only 10% of the people get burned to death instantly, while the rest 90% will die from radiation related illnesses, e.g. Leukemia
The bottom line is, I do not know what next world war would be like, neither do you. So I suggest we drop this matter.
BTW, I wasn't serious about it in the first place ... I have never been to a war and I hope I will never have to be in one.

Hiroshima was a huge explosion. You think those numbers of dead human beings are just numbers on paper ?
No war can be won by just bombardments (if it's a real war with intention to occupy a teritory), and you can ask all those people that have been in Vietnam what it was like (seeing how there was a big amount of 'huge exlposions' there too). Eventually ground forces will get into urban style battles, and once that happens all humanity is gone. No matter how modern weaponry one possess, once you feel the fear in your bones, your mental level drops to that of 'fight with knife'.
And before you make another statment about what war is like, go find some stories about what it really is like, read about women that have been held in captivity and raped every day in a period of _years_, read about sons having to kill their own fathers or about tortured people, and then come speak about huge explosions again.
"They say the war brings out the best and the worst in us. What is the best ?"
