Beside that, I like the idea that the nuclear bombing saved numerous lives of the Japanese, who did not have to experience and die in fire bombings or being recruited to fight on the streets, in the fields, and in the mountains. The battle of Iwo Jima [1] can serve as an example how bloody such fights might be.
In 1945, the Japanese Empire was training schoolchildren to fight with bayonets and sharpened bamboo logs, to make them part of land defense operations. The nukes made the emperor surrender and prevented all that.
