Both World Wars were total wars, that means that everybody, including civilians, is a legitimate target

Ignoring the fact that either bomb killed less people than the March 10 firebombing attack on Tokyo, which seems to be constantly forgotten. An invasion of Japan would've resulted in the deaths of a lot more civilians, and might even have resulted in the same sort of shaky truce that ended World War I if the invasion failed...

So, the way I see it, if the Allies went ahead with Operation Downfall, people right now would probably be complaining about the fact that they should've just dropped the A-Bombs and spared everybody of the slaughter
