WW2 was all-out war. Civilians were bombed and died worldwide.
110,000 people died in the two atomic explosions.
The two bombs ended the war and saved one million American dead and wounded, and 5-7 million Japanese dead, had a land invasion taken place.
The overwhelming destruction convinced the Emperor not to sacrifice his entire land for Bushido.
By comparison, over 140,000 people were killed in the incendiary bombing raid on Tokyo on March 30, 1945 in a single night using conventional means.
CHOICE kills about that many future Americans every 6 weeks!!!
