      What nation is going to prefer the death of its own citizens over the death of civilians of a country they are at war with?

      How else to interpret that? Were you suggesting Japan at the end of WW2 posed a risk to US civilians?

        No. I said that a country is going to value the lives of its own people over the lives of others in making military decisions. This isn’t just an American thing.
