Hard to believe that with all we now know, some still think the US had to drop the bomb(s) to get Japan to capitulate.


The fact that the first one didn't make them quit should tell you all you need to know. Dropping the bombs saved hundreds of thousands of American lives.

It was estimated that the war would last until 1947 if we hadn't dropped the bombs. Can you imagine the outrage in this nation when people learned we had such a weapon and didn't use it and instead accepted many hundreds of thousands of allied soldiers deaths?
My father and 3 uncles were WW2 vets. All my friends in school had family that served. They had a far different opinion than many here about bombing Japan.
