"We Nuked Japan & didn't need to (IMHO)." - Barry Finn

But there again Barry, you were never likely to be in the place of those US Marines who having just fought for Iwo Jima would be staring at the upper side of the ramp of the landing craft heading in to spearhead "Operation Olympic".

The decision made by the President of the United States at the time was the correct one, it saved the lives of his own countrymen his primary responsibility. What your opinion of that decision is now after 62 years is irrelevant.
