Ask Tucker this: It’s July 1945. You’re a Marine and slated to invade Japan. You find out we have a super bomb that can wipe out an entire city and make force the issue.

Do you want the US to use it?

No contest. In your scenario said Marine would already likely have experienced combat with the seasoned Japanese warrior. Definitely nuke ‘em.

My departed father in law was in Patton’s Third Army. When the Bomb dropped, he was already at an Army base on the site of today’s Vandenberg Air Force base... training to go to the invasion of Japan.
