At that time the Japanese were training all women and children older that 5 to fight to protect the Homeland. We dropped the first bomb on Hiroshima and STILL they weren't surrendering. There were plots on the Emperor's life to avoid surrendering even after we dropped the 2nd bomb. If the Russians hadn't been planning to invade we might have dropped 10 bombs without the Japanese giving up. Ike allowed thousands of Americans to die invading island after island in the Pacific so maybe he didn't mind American deaths so much and would prefer that the war went on much longer rather than use the most powerful and dreadful weapon in our arsenal. I can assure you that the people that were actually on their way to Japan to take part in the invasion weren't so reticent about using the bomb. The VAST majority of the American people weren't that unhappy about it either. Imagine yourself on one of the ships going over there for the invasion and tell me you would have been AGAINST using the bomb. Busted clock.....you are Full O' Crap......
