Regards, JS Well, did I mention, it saved a lot of lives too ... I am thankful for that. Regards, JS Reportedly the MIL-INTEL that Prez Truman was given to help him make the Decision to Drop the A/H Bombs or not was that : 1 - Using the Bombs would Break the Will of the Japanese to continue to Fight and Defend their Mainland like they did Okinawa. 2 - Not using the Bombs would mean that the USA and the Allies would have to Fight the Japanese both Military and Civilian in their Home Island with the potential cost of a Million or more Japanese Civilian Lives along with a 100K or more US MIL causalities. Prez Truman decided to Drop the Bombs and yes doing so did save a million or more Deaths on both sides. Note - MacArthur's Post-War Occupation Intelligence discover from the Japanese Military that the US's prior estimates were low and the Japanese were prepared ready to Fight more and longer; and the causalities may have been doubled into the Millions. The Japanese thinking was that the Japanese could Fight the US & Allies to a stalemate on their Home Islands and Win a Cease Fire and an Armistice versus a Complete Surrender and Occupation by the US & Allies. -wrt- N&S Korea later in 1953 ~ RHF |
