What were the reasons for dropping the Atomic bomb on Nagaski or Hiroshima?
Japan was on track to fight to the last man, woman and child. That was proven on some of the islands were all the men fought unto death and the women and children jumped off high cliffs. We would have had to land our Marines on the Japanese Island and fought from shore to shore killing Millions of people including our own troops. The bomb (although now some call it inhumane) saved millions of lives. Truman made the decision and he was one presidnet we had who was not wishy-washy. He made hard decisions and stuck to them. I am old enough to remember the day Japan bombed Pearl Harbor.
