people in China are still people they could have also used them in attacks on our navy

Yeah, but we weren't all that worried about the
Chinese dying. We were worried about them
falling. Which wouldn't have happened at that
late date. As to the navy, such an attack would
be pathetic. Sure, one bomb might fuck up a number
of ships, but it wouldn't change much.

Parts:
One bomb in that area when they were invading Okinawa would have been a serious setback as the ships were packed pretty close because of the suicide attacks for defense.  I am pretty sure if invading the main island it would have been the same.

Yeah. A bomb could prevent an invasion site.
But, I'm sure that like D-Day, the plan would
have hit several locations at once. Presuming
that such would happen - the US estimate was
1000000 losses in such an attempt.  :-\ THAT'S
why we used the bomb.

Parts:
And that is why I got to meet my uncles who could very well have been one of those million as an other that would have been my uncles met his fate in Normandy

Calandale:
Stationed in the pacific?
