They were out of fuel and ammo and food and starving to death. It was just like the space race, between us and the Soviets, to see who could finish off Japan faster, to come out as the sole victor of WW2. We were all mad that we met halfway in Germany, and we wanted to smash Japan by ourselves to make up for it. As soon as we dropped the nuke, the Soviets got worried that we'd beat Japan without them and we'd look better, like we did it alone, so they immediately invaded and started slaughtering people. So we dropped another bomb. |
umm.... no. We dropped the bomb because we really did want to have to do an Iwo Jima-style fight-to-the-death-for-every-yard slog through 1200 miles of Japan while slaughtering tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians and probably losing 2-3 million of our own soldiers; and we would have had to do that too, because the Japanese would have fought to the death for every millimetre of land they gave up. imo, dropping a couple low-yield nukes is much better than having to wipe a 380000km2 country with more than 100000000 people off the face of the earth.
OT: I don't know. However, a good reason to go back would be to mine titanium. The moon's "soil" has almost 11% titanium in a lot of places.
Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it
