The nukes dropped on Japan are said to have "saved lives" because more Americans would've died in an invasion.
This is misleading.
Why?
There was no reason to do an invasion like we were planning. In war, rarely do you just surround and invade a country and take them all out at once like we were planning. You take your time in war, slowly taking out the country, starving them out, so you can defeat them with little effort.
The reason a lot of lives would've been lost was because the US wanted to do an immediate invasion, but not because it was required, but because Russia was mobilizing their units to take over Japan and we wanted Japan first.
The reason we dropped nukes on Japan was simply to prevent Russia from taking Japan.

| My Grandfather was there when they dropped them. They saved American lives and the war ended immediately after the bombs were dropped. |

You do realize that if we hadn't dropped those bombs, Japan was planning to launch plains containing the Bubonic Plague at California, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, Guam, The Phillipines, China, Midway, and other islands in the pacific? Do your research.

| It saved lives because more firebombing and an invasion would end more JAPANESE lives, not american lives |

| American soldiers were in Japan when it was bombed. It was when we first created the Atomic Bomb. Japan didn't know what hot them! The war ended immediately after. |

"Evidence you have not"
" casualties from the raids is 333,000 killed and 473,000 wounded." < air raid casualties
"Total: 129,000–246,000+ killed" < nuke WAY LESS than in firebombings
Now just imagine civilian casualties in an invasion of japan, where most people would rather die than surrender? |

| My Grandfather said the Japanese could survive off a tiny bag of beans and rice for a week and the would always try to keep the American soldiers awake to weaken them. Never letting them sleep. |
