It made perfect logical sense to my father. In August 1945 his 20th Armored Division had returned from Germany on a thirty-day furlough before shipping out to the Far East. His division was scheduled to be in the lead in attacking Tokyo Bay. American planners expected
100% casualties in the first wave.
So, it now makes perfect sense to me, too. I wouldn't even be here without the A-bombs.

After what they are witnessing now on Iwo Jima and will witness on Okinawa, the American people were going to support anything that would end the war without invading Japan proper.
