I wouldn't classify the use of nuclear weapons against Japan as merely a get-even ploy. I would classify it as a tactical decision to shorten the war.
If Japan had surrendered before the first use of the weapons, they wouldn't have been used. If Japan had surrendered after the first bomb was used, there would have been no utilization of a second.
Too bad the South didn’t have the bomb.
I look back on the Civil war and am sad men died on either side. I would hate to think either side would have used nuclear weapons against the other.
