BC,
I don't know how you could have better context than direct unequivocal statements from the military commanders actually in command of the war at the time.
a) Their comments weren't made "at the time." They were made years afterward. Hindsight is the context you continue to ignore.

b) Like I said, no one is arguing that the bomb was needed from a military standpoint, or else it would have been used against military targets. Hence your appeal to authority using military commanders is moot, because it wasn't a militaristic decision.

c) If I have a "warped belief system," so do the vast majority of Asians outside of Japan who believe that Japan deserved the nuke. They are the direct descendants of those who lived through the horrors of Imperial Japan.
