Remembering the tragic aftermath of the Hiroshima bomb - BBC

@Spartanslayer1

Well those kids and workers didn't do anything. It is unfair to say everyone in japan did it.

fully DESERVED

this is what they get for the pearl harbor! they killed innocent people there! you mess with us we mess back!

single bomb; but Japan's attack was aimed towards the United States' closest military/marine resource to Japan, and it was thought to be a threat. Of course, the innocence of the unsuspecting American soldiers can never be over-stated, but Hiroshima was a center of business and 150,000 innocent, non-military related people were murdered.

Compared to the death toll of J invasion of China (ten to fifteen MILLION, and another five million from Japanese caused famines throughout Asia), death toll from H&N-200k- was *trivial*.
What better choice did Truman have?
Compromise peace? Militarists retain power plan Pacific War 2
Invade? Kyushu's garrison was x7 Okinawa's. Look up the casualties & do the math.
Blockade? MILLIONS of J civilians (& 100,000 Allied POWs) wouldve starved to death b4 hirohito gave the surrender order
