We weren't lossing in the Pacific theater. We were winning slowly, but the cost of life on both sides was terrible. The atomic bombs were a great and horrible way to end the war in the Pacific. They took many lives, but saved much more of our guys in the end. I bet you didn't know that all the Purple Hearts that were given in all American conflicts since WW2 are surplus medals made in preperation of the invasion of the Japanese mainland. The casualties we were estimated to take were over a million 1,000,000. Lossing any life is horrible, but it seems like you are saying that we should've continued the war and caused even more death rather than ending it?
