No one else has used Nukes but us.
If we use them again you might as well just burn those non-proliferation treaties up, because we will have less moral capital than OBL (imo), as far as other nations are concerned.

Okay, millions of servicemen saved (an untestable number BTW), but these were non-combatants.

More Japanese would have died in an invasion then from the bomb (and more did die from the fireboming raids on Tokyo then either one of the A-bomb drops). Even if you don't include military personel it is likely that dropping the bombs saved Japanese lives.
