Thanks for the ping!
But the moral problem of incinerating women and babies in tens or hundreds of thousands remains as a real, serious issue, and I actually think that our failure to accept the rightness of that explains a lot about why we are having such trouble winning wars now.
War is obliterating the enemy. Japan’s right to even exist ceased to exist when they waged war. Two atomic bombs? Hell, we had the right to use them even up to today, to continue to destroy Japan as we saw fit. The fact that we used only two and quit should make them still thank us for our mercy.
If you don’t like war, and the fact that it means your total obliteration, then don’t wage war.
Do you actually believe that the U.S. would have dropped a nuclear bomb on Germany, because I don’t believe that.

Yes, we would.
Look-up the history of the development of the B-36.
