We dropped bombs on civilians. We also killed a few dozen American POW's that we rarely talk about. 

Out of this whole, intriguing write-up, Richard Rhyner chooses to comment on the viciousness of the Japanese, coming to a crescendo with his lament "it's a shame we only dropped two atomic bombs on them or lifted a finger to help them after the war." 

As Rhyner is my adn comment arch-nemesis, it's my sad duty to point out the shame such a comment should bear. Rhyner is pining for the wholesale slaughter of civilian communities to sate his blood lust. Those "savages" will sure learn humanity by us incinerating their families. Those toddlers turned to shadows on the cement sure deserved their fate, and we should have killed more! 

Rhyner proceeds to decry us "lifting a finger to help [Japan]" and fails, completely, to understand how we benefit from the "help" in that Japan is essentially our vassal state and we can put our forward military bases wherever we please.
