(24,979 posts)That's Robert McNamara speaking. He was an architect of the US strategic bombing campaigns in World War II.
Oh wait, I see there's a list of people killed in US conflicts since 1945 at the end. No, that's not from the movie.

(2,424 posts)Take a balance scale and put weights on both sides.
On one side, put two atomic bombs. On the other side, put hundreds of napalm bombs.
See which way the scale tips.
The agenda is this.
Hypocrisy to narrow the conversation to Nagasaki and Hiroshima. We were burning Japan to the ground anyway.

(2,424 posts)I believe most people here are intelligent enough to draw their own conclusions. The last part was an editorial unrelated to the film. To most, this is obvious. It detracts from the point I was trying to get across.....about firebombs.
