Question

the statement below was made by robert h. shumard, a crewman of the b-29 that dropped the atomic bomb on hiroshima:
obody actually wants to cause the destruction we caused. but it was through a necessity rather than a wanton type of destruction. it was something that had to be done.\ with which principle associated with the nuremberg trials would shumard agree? a soldier must always follow orders. war criminals must be put on trial for their misdeeds. the destruction of towns and cities constitutes a war crime. individuals are accountable for their actions even during war. question 21 2 pts those who lived during and fought in world war ii have been referred to as \the greatest generation.\ which of these statements best explains the sentiment behind this statement? the 1940s were a wonderful time in which to live. world war ii successfully halted all future conflicts. the intellect of those in the 1940s was superior to other decades. men and women in this time fought not for fame or recognition, but because they felt it was their patriotic duty.

Explanation:

First Question (Nuremberg Trials Principle)

The Nuremberg Trials established that individuals are accountable for their actions even during war, rejecting the idea that following orders or war's chaos excuses crimes. Shumard's statement about the atomic bomb being necessary aligns with the principle that individuals act with responsibility (or the idea that actions have accountability). The option "Individuals are accountable for their actions even during war" matches the Nuremberg principle of personal accountability for war crimes, unlike the other options (soldier following orders, war criminals on trial, or destruction as war crime, which don't relate to the "necessity" argument here as directly as individual accountability framing actions as necessary but still accountable). Wait, no—wait, Shumard says the destruction was necessary, so the Nuremberg principle that individuals are accountable (so they make choices, even in war, and are responsible) would be the one he agrees with, as he's justifying his action as necessary but still an action he took (so accountability exists, even if he saw it as necessary). So the correct option is "Individuals are accountable for their actions even during war."

"The Greatest Generation" refers to those who fought in WWII, driven by duty (patriotic, moral duty) rather than fame. The option "Men and women in this time fought not for fame or recognition, but because they felt it was their patriotic duty" explains the sentiment—they acted out of duty, not personal gain, which defines the Greatest Generation's motivation. Other options (1940s as wonderful, WWII halted all conflicts, intellect superior) don't capture the duty-driven, selfless service aspect.

Answer:

Individuals are accountable for their actions even during war. (The option with this text, assuming the options are labeled, e.g., if it's the last option, state the identifier and text as per the original, but from the image, the last option is "Individuals are accountable for their actions even during war.")
