  >military casualties were to be expected, weren't they? First, convenient to ignore the 100,000 civilian deaths. Second, what you are saying is the war was basically won* *After hundreds of thousands of additional military deaths fighting to completely dismantle Japan. >The details were up for grabs Again, these "details" are hundreds of thousands to millions of deaths. You are acting like death from atomic bombs are the only deaths that matter, so people that die during battle or millions of deaths from starvation from a blockade[1] are fine. This is just so divorced from reality I don't even understand what you are trying to say. Yeah, we could have just killed millions Japanese people with a blockade or kill 100,000 Americans and a million Japanese during an invasion. Atomic weapons were totally unneeded.
