It might be. I won't say I know better.

It probably is worse. And consider this: they have nukes in their stockpile and are running out of regular bombs.

Nice loophole find after the post was deleted.

To answer your reply, I agree. It's exactly the same and it's a shame the bias exists so blatantly.

Interesting how murder was the option chosen. Some would have chosen self-sacrifice instead.

Yeah you're right. One article says 29 trillion domestically and only 1 to China.

Isn't the US trillions in debt, with a large part of it to China?

I know little of past wars, but you seem to know a little less.

In general, orders to play nice were given from the top because they needed the infrastructure kept intact as much as possible and make it cheaper to rebuild after. But those orders got diluted as they went down the command chain because there was no such thing as absolute control over an entire army.
And even if the orders were disobeyed, there wasn't much punishment given after the fact in order to avoid the chance of rebellion.

So these orders can be factually correct, but also just paper to wipe their asses with.
