For fcuks sake, CirrusF, it was war. Europe was under Nazi heel (an outfit that killed many more innocent civilians than Bomber Command ever did) and the few that were left had to stop this evil regime by whatever means was necessary. If bombing civilians to shatter thir morale and will to work for Nazi victory, then so be it. Remember, THEY started it, THEY turned a blind eye to the horrible acts committed and THEY deserved everything they got.
This was the last just war that was fought, and we and the allies faught it with all our might and we WON, securing freedom from Nazi tyranny and extermination of those who opposed it and those they thought undesirable.
You're splitting hairs, Cirrus, and have you forgotten Guernica? As Arthur said, They sowed the wind, they shall reap the whirlwind, and they did.
It was evil, awful and all such descriptions of war but just imagine what it would be like if we had lost.
While we're at it, how about a campaign medal for Bomber Command?
