Orthodox American historians to this day justify dropping atom bombs on Japan as a great life-saving technology, as they took a page from Orwell's book. When Rubinstein noted that nothing was proposed or a proposal rejected, such as the ransom of 70,000 Romanian Jews by Nazis, Rubinstein ignored the anti-Semitism that likely fueled the rejection, and instead showed that even if attempted, it would have been futile

The Call for Unconditional Surrender: The Potsdam Declaration contained the insistence on unconditional surrender, which consequently left the continued existence of the Emperor ambiguous.

Engineers placed five gun turrets on the fuselage: a turret above and behind the cockpit that housed two .50 caliber machine guns (four guns in later versions), and another turret aft near the vertical tail equipped with two machine guns; plus two more turrets beneath the fuselage, each equipped with two .50 caliber guns. Several years of preliminary studies paralleled a continuous fight against those who saw limited utility in developing such an expensive and unproven aircraft but the Air Corps issued a requirement for the new bomber in February 1940
In 1945 the US military in anticipation of an invasion of the main islands and of the high casualties ordered the manufacturing of 500,000 purple hearts. That is simple most of our countries have many documents that were sealed for "security" reasons that generally have a 70 year limit as to protect some people's reputations that limit has just started to be reached for some of the worst part of the war and in this more gore the better society we are now living in people will pay for this, sad but true! AS for Japan it got off lightly 2 A-bombs and a total of 650,000 civilian deaths a short an very limited war crimes trial and it was over

How many lives will it cost to invade (and how many of them will be on our side) vs how many lives will it cost if we drop the bombs? There are a few kneejerk patriotic comments here, but equally, there are plenty which demonstrate a failure to understand that, however abominable the decision to drop the bombs, the alternative was considered to be more abominable
