well before you make statements remember the estimate of how many soldiers would have died in an invasion of japan and the its in the millions it may sound like screwd logic but those two atomic weapons saved many lives |
You can not save lives by boming people! 
You can save lives by not bombing people and not invadeing Japan! |
you havent a clue what your saying with the kamakazi mentality that every veteran will tell you about an invasion would have cost millions thats a fact every island taken cost thousands and where defended fanatically the needs of the many outweighed the needs of the few |
When brought into perspective....
Battle of Iwo Jima
KIA
Navy 934
Marine 4907
--------------------------------------------
Iraq current deaths as of 2003 - Dec 26th 2007 = 3900 killed 28,661 wounded...Civillians and contractors X 10 at least this amount....DOD stats.
A single battles losses on Iwo Jima is almost inconcievable to me as a person living today...I thank God for the decision made to end that war as soon as possible.War sucks period.
