Disagree. Japanese would not have surrendered without land invasion. In a modern context consider what it means. US should have dropped a nuke on Tora Bora in 2001 when Osama Bin Laden was hiding there. Instead we opted for protracted war which has destroyed Afghanistan, Iraq, & the Middle East. It has cost 7K US soldiers lives and $7T and counting…
A land invasion of Japan was expected to cost over 1M deaths… US did the right thing by dropping nukes over Japan …
