"no less a person than GEN McArthur said that Tokyo should NOT be bombed with nukes as it was a CIVILIAN target of little intrinsic miltary value. Again you're full of it. Mac didn't even know the bomb existed until they used it. No one ever asked him where or when to use it. He NEVER said Tokyo was a 'civilian" target, because it wasn't. There were war production factories spread all throughout the city -- thousands of them.

Yes, his good friend Harry Truman called him in the Phillipines to get his opinion on the matter. As CIC, Truman always called MacArthur for advice... /sarcasm>
