21,000 Ally soldiers would have died if the bombs were not dropped. Ally soldiers were dying at a rate of 7,000 per week and the war would have lasted
for about 3 more weeks. I think the the bigger issue that should be discussed here is "Sacrifice".
War, in my opinion, is murder. No matter what side you're on. What is Hiroshima and Nagasaki then? Mass murder? As for the necessity of it all... in
military terms... "Well done USA." Morally speaking however.... "you evil, evil people, you."
