Dude, seriously, learn to use the multi-quote function.
The fact of the matter has already been stated, the Japanese would have given a huge fight that would have ended in many more deaths than the bombs caused. Now don't get me wrong, I am not specifically "pro-bomb", but I believe in using the right tool for the job. If they were willing to order their pilots to their deaths, and the pilots celebrated that opportunity to die for their country, how do you fight that? How do you stop someone who is trying to kill you yet also wants to die? Would you lay down and let them kill you?
The US military completely and utterly defeated the Japanese, but they would not surrender. They kept fighting, death was more honorable than loss. It was an unfortunate action, but again I will say that was the better option. Please note also that even in my original post, I never said it was a good option, just that it was less horrific.
