The Japanese Generals did NOT want to surender, even after the second bomb was dropped. It took the Emperor of Japan to override his generals & anounce to his people that Japan was surendering. Talk to the American Vets, both those being shipped from Europe & those already in the Pacific for the planned invasion of Japan. Ask them how they felt when there was no invasion. Look into the fanatical defense on Iwo Jima, Okinawa, etc. The closer we got to the mainland, the harder it was, with high tolls on both sides, before those islands were secured. If we had to invade Japan because the bomb was not used, at the cost of a million American casualties, What would the reaction of the American people have been when they found out that the bombing was withheld, and the loss of all those lives was unnecesary? Pardon my poor spelling. Jim (80 year old).
