Saved Japanese lives also

12.107.13.10

As I remember my WWII, the Japanese had displayed a great reluctance to surrender on the crappy little rocks they inhabited in the South Pacific. The feeling was there would be a fight to the last man (and woman) if a land assault of Japan were launched It was estimated that over a million Allies(not just Americans) and Japanese defenders would die in a D-day type battle for Japan. The arguement that an Atomic demonstration was the way to go does not hold water as if it didn't work there was not enough enriched uranium to make any more bombs quickly. The choice of killing 160,000(?) Japanese in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a horrible but very good choice over killing a million Allies and Japanese.
