Hiroshima and Nagasaki |
I honestly don't. If we're counting numbers here, The firebombings of Japan killed more people. And X-Day would have killed a estimated 11-14M Japanese + Americans. This was the quickest way to end the war. Also, If the two bombs had not been dropped, We probably would've used it somewhere else. A worse place.

No. The result of the bombings ended the war (like you said) and saved more people than if the war had continued.
