tragic yes, but the thousands that died in hiroshima and nagasaki is a small number compared to the millions that would have been liquidated if we had to invade mainland Japan. there simply would not be any japan anymore. there policy was to fight to the death and all there civilians and soldiers were told to fight to the last and the Marines, Army, Airborne, and all the battle hardened troops from europe would have wiped the japanease completely out. The marines went from island to island in the pacific, and if there was a garrison of 20,000 japanease troops on a island, then they had to kill all 20,000 of them before the island was declared secure. that's why the U.S, Marines were the toughest soldiers of ww2 and that's also why invading mainland japan would have been a blood bath and would have ment the end of native japanease people as we know it.
