Apparently pointing out that the US had options other than the A-Bomb that also didn't risk our soldier lives in the Pacific Theater at the end of WWII is anathema on imgur. Who knew?

Well maybe we did, but as the old argument goes: hindsight is 20/20.

The reason these are differentiated is because of the hindsight. We had many options, but dropping the atomic bombs can be regarded as one of the safest (for the United States) options at the time.

We didn't really have good options, and I explicitly stated in my post that the other options probably wouldn't have been any less harsh on the Japanese, but apparently "the bomb was the only slightly good option" is the only permissible opinion. Originally Posted by Decagon

Oh, well that's certainly not true. The false dichotomy that it's either we continue to lose troops by directly fighting the Japanese or we drop the bombs is rather annoying. Originally Posted by Chrysia
