The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagaski were not based on military gains and they were definitely NOT to "save lives". It was a purely political move. Japan had already been decimated by the firebombings and was attempting to negotiate terms of surrender when those bombs were dropped.

Truman was catching heat from congress who wanted to know why the hell was two billion dollars put into this Manhattan Project if nothing was coming out of it. Plus they wanted to know the level of destruction of these bombs. They didn't need to drop the bombs at all. They just wanted to test 'em out and get the heat off of Trumans ass. They even set it up so that they had an excuse to drop two bombs.

Yes, the imperialist/fascist Japanese government deserved to catch some bad blows, but it wasn't them who caught it. It was their oppressed civilians who would pay the price for their overlords actions. Bombing those cities would be like Iraqis coming to this country and dropping atomic bombs on Compton and Oakland....oh wait, they don't have any WMD's to test.

Another FACT, the U.S. fire bombed 3 more targets after
Hiroshima and Nagasaki had being destroyed and
it happened during the surrender negotiations.

Your blind patriotism is deeply pitiful.
