There is always another way... The situation can't of just been "Use atomic bomb" or "America loses millions of its soldiers".

Please tell me i'm mistaken, but to me it sounds like you justify hiroshima and nagasaki.

And to be honest with you, I would rather more people die because they were fighting and wanted to fight, rather than just people that had nothing to do with the war getting killed! At least the people that die fighting had a choice to fight or not and they knew that there was a possibility of death... People in hiroshima couldn't do anything, they didn't have a choice.. Thats the sickest part about it!
