    How does nuking multiple cities not contribute to the American war effort?

    There are 1000 decision making paths you can follow in regards to the atomic bombing of Japan, which wasn’t decided lightly, but ultimately the prevailing understanding is correct.

    This “holier than thou” alternate history thing you have going on is, sorry to say, it’s delusional.

      How does nuking multiple cities not contribute to the American war effort?

      Because the war effort was already over, sorry if that wasn’t clear.

      This “holier than thou” alternate history thing you have going on is, sorry to say, it’s delusional.

      This was unnecessary. You can challenge the history and you can challenge me, but an ad hominem is neither and I don’t believe it was appropriate. Especially because you’re the one who has it backwards: The story taught in US schools is the alternate history.
