[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] They (the invaders) USED nukes in 'Red Dawn.' (They also used firearms registration to round up and murder most of the folks with guns, but that's another argument). "Opinionated?" Hardly. Opinion influenced by trends and knowledge, yes. Even WITHOUT the civilian contingent, attackers facing well-dug-in soldiers on familiar ground, even if the defenders' numbers are small, face the prospect of high losses. So yes, the use of the A-Bombs saved lives, as they made a massively costly invasion unnecessary (thus saving American lives that would have been lost) And gave the Japanese Army (and the civilians who might have joined them) a symbol of power they could surrender to (thus saving other Japanese soldiers' and civilians' lives), and pretty much made other bombing unnecessary (thus saving all the people who would have died as a result of continued conventional bombing.)
