>>7128871What a retarded image. How were the Japanese honorable? They literally started war with a sneak attack. Japanese soldiers would also surrender to American soldiers and then kill them when they got close. Not to mention the wanton rape and murder of civilians, cannibalization of prisoners of war, human experimentation, the use of civilians as human shields, and telling fellow Japanese citizens to kill themselves rather than be captured.
And yes, the atomic bombs did save lives. The Japanese were not planning on surrendering - in fact, there was a failed coup the night of the surrender statement where Japanese military officers tried to continue the war. Literally every estimate predicts that an invasion of Japan would have been far deadlier, not only for Americans but for Japanese as well.
