Anyone claiming that hasn't done much examination of history and the thought process of the Japanese leaders. Iwo Jima and Okinawa showed what it would be like.

History also doesn't teach the long campaign of dropping pamphlets, warning the civilians of the bombings and to get out of town.

How many of these people wouldn’t even be here today if their fathers or grandfathers were killed invading Japan? An initial order of 250,000 body bags was made for the invasion. Japan vowed to fight until they all died trying to win.

Truman used to say that he never lost a moment’s sleep over the decision to drop the bombs. Father Miscamble makes it easy to see why that was. Truman knew that in life true leaders must often choose the lesser evil. That is partly what makes him one of our greatest Presidents.

People cry foal when the A-Bomb is brought up.. But, this wasn't the worst thing done to Japan in WWII.. They Fire Bombing killed far more than 2 A-Bombs. The Why it was done is more important. It was a way to scare Stalin. To give him pause in his activities in Eastern Europe.

Firebombing did kill more. Burned up their wooden cities. It was the threat of hitting the emperor’s home that made them give up

If it weren’t for the bomb millions would have died. That’s the drive that had to be shattered; once broken, lives were restored but of course that is ignored.

Dropping the bomb shortened WWII saving countless lives on both sides.
