A morality question?
If you were ordered to unleash a Nuclear Bomb on an enemy could you do it?
Could you as an individual take on the responsibility of killing potentially millions? When I was younger I felt the answer was an easy yes. As I grow in wisdom my moral compass says it might not be easy to do. In fact I doubt I could do it. Could you? Additional info at the request of posters. You don't know who is targeted. Your area has not been hit by a Nuke but it was hit by a large bombing incident where 100s died. You will not be directly protecting your family. Last edited by Logical; 07-05-2007 at 12:05 AM.. |

No. If I had a specific target in mind, I would search out a way to narrow down my hunt. I would not hurt potentially innocent people who might/might agree with the viewpoints of my enemy.

The question becomes how many lives would be lost if you didn't.
If the answer is larger, by a considerable margin, then yes, I could.

The only way to know is to be at the button when the order comes through.

Maybe. You need to define the scenario in more detail for me to decide one way or the other.

Yes, if I was going to without a doubt protect the ones I care about by doing so... That becomes hazy when you factor in Nuclear Winter, however.

I'm not sure which scenario you are asking us to imagine. If i was a soldier like Slim Pickens in "Dr. Strangelove",then yes. Later, at the war crimes trial,i could say that i was only following orders. But,If you are asking what I would do if i was the one giving the order...that's when it becomes a moral issue. With the scenario you presented,conventional bombing would be a cheaper and safer idea. Hell,I'd order a high altitude nuclear blast that would create an EMP over said region before i would start destroying cities on a massive scale.

Bomb it. Cause if you could be assured that you could stop bloodshed on our troops yes you do it.
