I Was an A-Bomb Baby

5. Maybe we were the first, BUT. . .

. . .whoever was successful in developing this weapon would have used it.

USA, Soviet Union, Great Britain, Germany, etc.
whoever was successful in developing this weapon would have used it.

AND ANY ONE OF THEM WOULD'VE USED IT.

World War 2 was the closest thing we had to total war in our history.

And TOTAL WAR MEANS TOTAL DEATH.

And I do not want to hear any bullshit about the Japanese Empire getting ready to surrender before those bombs were dropped. That has been completely disproven.

Truman had ONE priority when he made his decision: End the war as fast as possible, and spare as many American casualties as possible.

Just my 2 cents, FWIW.
