a hot button issue even today. regardless of age or generation. should we have dropped the A bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki????
>>
in April of 45 US forces invaded the island of Okinawa with the intension of using it as a staging area for the invasion of the empire. but on August 6, 1945 that all changed as a lone B-29 named Enola Gay dropped the first A Bomb, named "little man," on a city. and Hiroshima disappeared under a cloud of ashes
>>
3 days later a 2nd B-29 named Bockscar dropped "fat boy" on on Nagasaki. reducing it to rubble.
>>
on August 14 the Japanese announed terms for surrender. and on Sept 2 signed the surrender on board the USS Missouri in Tokyo bay.
Hiroshima aug 6

I say yes because god knows how many Americans would have died invading the empire. ests were 1 million American dead. many servicemen thanked god and Harry Truman for saving their lives. and so did their families.
how many Japanese would have perished in this invasion ??? opinions ???.....................
