The President at the time gave legitimate warning, telling them we will launch a atomic bomb if they don't surrender. They didn't listen. We launched the atomic bomb. After that bomb, we asked once again to surrender...they once again didn't listen, and we launched...that one hit hiroshima I think, not sure...
We were about to luanch a 3rd atomic bomb, and we told them we were launching it at Tokyo...they surrendered then.
There was a second option, of course...sending men in to do the same things the missiles did. Only thing is, we would have lost MANY, MANY men....
So we had 2 options...use the most destructive weapon in the world at the time, or send in men. If we sent men in, the world would have lost as many, and MANY more.
Which choice would you choose?

the atomic bomb is the most cowardly disgusting action that could be taken
at least sending men would be honorable
pearl harbour didn't kill nearly as many people as hiroshima bombing did
