The definition of "military target" was an arbitrary definition (like most definitions) done by those who decided to bomb them. Kyoto was also a possible target favoured by the military, and it was replaced by Nagasaki.

And as you know, Hiroshima was chosen because it was undamaged and the effects of the bomb could be studied. So we can add "weapons testing on civilians" to the list of crimes.



You don’t start putting together charges unless you intend to prosecute.

The US will not be prosecuted in the future for dropping A-Bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in 1945. So what exactly is your aim?
