Reply #13: Evaluating in historical context, it was not correct or moral.

From what we know now, the Japanese were about to surrender anyways. It was not going to be necessary to have troops invade Japan, and it was not necessary to drop the bombs. At the time, people were being fed the same lines of bs that we are fed today from the press of the day. They thought this was the only sane decision because they did not have all the facts. Looking back now, I cannot see how it can be justified.
