Also Akuma your ignoring the fact that the US nuclear attacks on Japan actually saved lives both American and Japanese as a US invasion would of killed a lot more soldiers on both sides...

While the other option... a bombing and blockade campaign agaisnt japan would of caused mass famine that would of rapidly depopulated Japan by up to as much as 75-80% since Japan imported most of it's food... and in addition it's food production was very centralized.

During WW2 nuclear weapons were the most humane option for all sides involved.

There was nothing "crazy" about it.

Why you make such silly arguements that I know you can't even believe in i'm not sure.

Come on dude, that's the bullshit they sell you in high school.  You know better than that.

Go ask the Japanese back then and today if nuclear weapons were the most humane option the U.S. could have used.  I don't even know if you will find much more than 50-60% of Americans who agree with that statement today. 

Its easy to call something humane when the other person is the one who has to suffer for it.  The Spanish Inquisition thought they were pretty humane saving people's souls by torturing them to death.

 

Dude did you read the details of the plans for Japans defense?

Did you study read the details of the plans for the Japanese bombings.

I have.  So no... i'm not "buying into anything.

A US Invasion would of depopulated most of Japan as like the rest of WW2 they would of faught to the last soldier.  Any amount of research shows it was the most human option.

I do believe you owe me an apology.  Go over the plans.  Go over what would of happened and then maybe you'll be qualfied to argue it.
