I know people whose fathers were ready to invade Japan unless it surrendered. There would have been a terrible loss of lives, both US and Japanese, if that had happened.

As it is, only Japanese lost their lives. Our boys had been fighting for a long time in a war they didn't start. I am glad those men came home.

I regret that the Japanese military refused to surrender sooner. Those Japanese people would not have been killed.

First country to use nerve gas on civilians: Japan - on Chinese civilians. Tested on POWs. (I am not counting mustard gas, that was the Germans in WWII.)

The Japanese also spread plague against the Chinese. Nice people.
