Old world reasoning would have us put honour before justice... see some people as worth more others... it was good that people were not hateful for example the WW2 English. The English were honourable and tried to be clean fighters, cool headed.
I am glad my nan and her husband never fought in the Axis power where they lived.
Looking at the Bismark sinking, should the RN done more to save the crew? Even risked themselves?
And the much more worked question, in benefit of hindsight, did the USA and Britain, need drop the bomb on Japan? We now know they would have lost many more US soldiers, but would still have won the war.
