Sorry...I must have missed that.
So with the intelligence they had, they could predict a death toll of 500,000 and maybe several times that, with a land invasion.
With the atomic bomb they predicted a death toll of 100,000 to 200,000.
500,000 is a more acceptable loss of life than 200,000?
You will have to explain the logic behind that one.
(Don't give me the civilians and soldiers argument. The civilians were becoming soldiers.)
