Yes, I understand that the science wasn't that evolved at the time to make specifically designed "small" atomic bombs.

BUT, I believe that the invasion was going to take a while and they WERE planning to use atomic bombs in the coastal areas to "soften up" the Japanese defensives.

You say it "never could have been a concrete plan"?

REALLY?

Do you know how many Americans died invading all those small islands on the way to Japan?

Do you think our leaders would rather have lost another 500k men in an invasion rather than use this new weapon they had come up with?
