Two cities in Japan bombed by US in World War 2?
Many Japanese cities were bombed by the United States during WWII. Only two were attacked with nuclear weapons: Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However, it is estimated that the firebombing of Tokyo with conventional incendiary bombs actually killed the most people.
Who led US bombing attack on Tokyo?
On 18 April 1942 Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle led the "Doolittle Raid". This was the first American air attack on the Japanese main land. The attack did little material damage but did demonstrate that Japan was vulnerable, raised American morale, and Doolittle was promoted 2 steps to Brigadier General. On 10 March 1945 Major General Curtis LeMay commanded the firebombing of Tokyo. This was the most devastating bombing of the war. With casualty estimates ranging from about 100,000 to many times that, it was more devastating than the initial casualty count of either atomic bomb.

Is firebombing during war ethical?
Firebombing during war raises ethical concerns due to the indiscriminate nature of the attacks, which can result in civilian casualties and extensive property damage.

As such, many consider firebombing to be morally questionable and in need of careful scrutiny.
