But the bombings did prevent a lot of OTHER war crimes that were definitely on the table so they're justified /s
It did save the lives of the soldiers who were going to invade Japan. Its fine to call sacrificing several hundred thousand lives unjustified but that was the rational at the time.
Not only those soldiers though. Japanese soldiers as well, and don't forget they convinced local communities to commit suicide 'to save themselves from the brutality of US soldiers'
Yeah Japan was a bit goofy during those times.
