Just think these bombs they use for testing are small versions of what a real nuclear bomb would be.

Truman didn't want to have to explain later to the American people that he had a weapon that could have ended the war and save american lives but decided not to use it. He would have been assasinated or worse.

Not necessarily, thats an assumption. Why would they surrender if we did that? Consider that they diddn't surrender after the first was dropped on a city now. (we only had two, and they had to bring the war to an end.) Thats a big gamble, and not one you would be inclined to make, if you were 5 years into a world war that wasn't close to finished.

I'm a liberal, and to this day I stand by our decision to drop Little Boy and Fat Man. We eliminated the US casualties that would have been incurred by an invasion, and lessened the Japanese civilian casualties when one considers EVERY civilian would have been used as a soldier in Japan to repel an American invasion.

My grandfather would have been in the invasion fleet to invade Japan. He would have probably died. Thank god U.S. nuked Japan to surrender or millions more would have died from the invasion. Only retarded liberals would disagree.

The first Bomb was dropped in order to show them what we could do. The 2nd was dropped to show them that we had more than one. We only had 2. The Japanese diddn't surrender after the first bomb. They were still going to fight. It wasn't until it was demonstrated to them that we had more than one and made them think we could drop more at will before they surrendered. We diddnt even know they would work actually, but the war needed to be brought to a speedy conclusion without invading Japan.

Slayerking, you might want to take in to account the times in which the bomb was used. War with Japan was dragging on and on and invading the Home Islands was going to be the only way to end it. Look at Iwo Jima, Tarawa, and Guadalcanal and every other Island they defended to the last man. How do you think it was going to go when they were defending the emperor? Dropping the bomb saved many more lives, 2 cities nuked, instead of hundreds and hundreds of thousands more deaths from invading.
