I remember in college, a number of professors were debating the A-Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasakki. One professor stood up and told us he was onboard a ship preparing to invade Japan in Operation Downfall. They had been told to expect more than 75% losses in the invasion. He said God bless the President’s call to drop the bomb.
My opinion, given those times ... any nation that had the bomb was gonna use it, don’t be silly.
