Yes all out nuclear war a lot of us probably would not be here today

Calandale:
Oh come on. Japan was prostrate.
The only need for the bomb was
to end things more quickly - to keep
the USSR from getting too many
spoils.

Probably kept more Japanese alive
to have dropped it, than if we had
simply waited them out.

That's what people say. But if that's true, why didn't they surrender after the first bombing, if they were that ready? Why not after the second?

Calandale:
No proof that we had more.
We got lucky, in a sense.

maldoror:
Meh. I don't buy it. If they were ready to surrender, they wouldn't have used that "lack of proof" as a reason to not do so. What proof did they have that we DIDN'T have more?
