"You're making the point that the rationalization of using the bombs was to end the search and destroy guerilla warfare they would have had to do, and such.
The atomic bombs did not do that. Islands of Japan continued to fight throughout several years. Americans surely knew this. They were not stupid people."
Overall, this is the most nonsensical post that i've read and I think that you're misunderstanding me. My point had nothing to do with ending japanese guerilla warfare, b/c 99.9% of that stopped when Japan surrendered. The few crazy holdouts are irrelevant, sorry.

"meh. keep in mind that the americans had to go find the japanese in island after island and fight every one of them. Given the past experiences and all of the bonzai attacks etc, I think that it is quite rational to assume that the japanese wouldn't surrender for a while. "
Your post not mine.
I find it very silly to be calling my post nonsensical.

That wasn't a *point* or emphasis of the post that you're quoting but rather a supporting reason to think that the japanese wouldn't surrender. Again, I think that you are misunderstanding.
