> Also, those bombs saved a lot of lives. I know many will disagree, but it's true.

This is a hotly, perhaps one of the most hotly contended, modern questions of World War II. To say what you said so blithely betrays your ignorance on the subject.

General modern consensus suggests that the first is up for debate for various reasons, but that the second one really didn't do much to change the Japanese government's course.

Regardless if you disagree with that above statement or not, positioning your uninformed opinion as fact is a bad look.

Suppose we grant your premise. Indiscriminately massacring entire cities of men, women, and children saved the lives of some soldiers. That's barbaric.

I know you will disagree, but you are wrong.
