43. when we accepted japans 1 condition
as recommended by all military leaders in theater at that time to allow the institution of emperor to remain... as it has to this very day and has proven to be a wise and successful decision.

they made their recommendation well before the bombs were dropped and their rational for it ironicly was to SAVE LIVES which is now used as the main excuse for why we dropped them.

just think how many lives would have been saved if we had accepted their surrender in the spring or early summer of 45...

peace
