And if we hadn’t have dropped the bomb...twice...the death toll probably would have been much much larger. I’m just thankful the Japanese didn’t call our bluff on a third bomb. If I remember correctly it wasn’t finished yet.

Actually, we had a third one ready to go on August 19th. Another one would have been ready the first part of September with an addtional three later that month. Another three would have been ready in October.
