You know, I happen to have known a WWII veteran very well, who having gone through many years of war in the CIB knew very well what was going to happen when the final invasion of Japan came.

He knew that many of his friends, those still alive and unharmed to that date, were going to be killed. He knew that many civilians, women and children, armed with everything from sharpened sticks on up would meet them head on.

The bombs saved lives, many lives on both sides. Perhaps a million + lives were saved.
