From the linked article: "many American veterans and historians say that the attacks hastened the end of the war and saved thousands, if not millions, of additional lives."
Wait what? The war was basically over, in europe it already had ended, the Japanese were retreating. That sounds like a lot of rationalizing bullshit.
Sure, the japanese did cruel crimes of war. But saying the atomic bombs were needed to end the war quicker and with lesser deads is an outright lie.
