It was either that, or lose double the numbers lost in the nukes in casualties trying to take Japan. They were a relentless enemy, the fact that they refused to surrender even after the first nuke should demonstrate that.
It's pretty easy to talk about it, but it's not as black and white as you clearly think it is, Pyro. You should investigate the possibility of what might have happened had the nukes not been dropped. A lot more lives would have been lost. |
1. they didn't surrender at first because the info they go on the first bomb that was dropped was not flowing into the Japenese command. They didn't have a full scope of the damage done.
2. A couple nukes dropped off the coast, or even a nuke dropped in a less populated country side would have been just as effective. If not.......then I guess you go ahead and drop it on a city full of people, mostly children....women....seniors... hell not that bad when you think about it.. rolleyes:
