Was The Bombing of Hiroshima Necessary?

yes it was.

Japan was ready to fight on their home island to the last man, woman, and child.
Had we not ended the war with the A-Bomb, the war would have cost us a few more years and probably millions more lives on both sides.

People forget that we killed more civilians in the strategic bombing campaign in the European Front with regular bombs. Dresdin for example. Bombing civilians on a mass scale certainly did not start with the drop of the A-bomb.
