re: #237 Ziggy_TARDIS

So, after reading a little bit, especially the statements from the Generals and Military Leaders at the time, I have come to the conclusion that the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima, and Nagasaki were wholly unnecessary.

So, I am tacking a little more to the left.

I’d suggest you read further. The first bomb was necessary to end the war without either an invasion (army plan) or a genocidal starvation blockade (navy plan). The second one had more to argue about but I believe it was valid as it proved the first bomb was not a one off device and hinted we could do it again and again - both the Japan and to the Soviets.
