The Dropping of Atomic bombs On Japan in WW2 was the BEST Military Option

I thank you as well for bringing up some thought provoking arguments and would like to give my response to each individual argument using the same format. Argument #1: Uncertainty is indeed one of the most impact side affects of the atomic bomb to this day, The thought that one of the nine country's in possession of nuclear weapons could plunge the world into a World War that would destroy the Earth but with this great fear their is good, Not ever again will their be another "Great War" or world war of mass troop landings and invasions of other superpowers. Yes country's that wield high standing in the world will still have more targeted war's so to speak as you pointed out the United States involvement in Vietnam, Afghanistan and the Korean War but with a total killed in action count of 96, 296 American soldiers according to Wikipedia sources deaths it's still a far cry from the 416, 000 military deaths in World War 2 according to the nationalww2museum. My point being that even with smaller continued engagements by military's the threat of total desolation by the atomic bomb prevents any of the major superpower Russia, China and the United States from any kind of major conquest. I believe the corruptness of the Soviet government was caused by much more then the atomic bomb and Stalin being one of the most evil men in history left a lasting painful impact on the country as a whole giving his predecessors more opportunity to corrupt. Argument #2: While these bombs caused massive devastation and permanent malformations for a generation of Japanese people and some future generations the bombs succeed in their objective and brought a swift close to a more and more bloody conflict. The strategy of island hopping was proving costly for both sides the Japanese especially with death tolls almost doubled of their American adversaries such as the battle of Iowa Jima where nearly 7, 000 Marines lost their lives nearly 21, 000 Japanese soldiers fought to the death on the island with merely a few hundred of them surrendering according to history. Com. A continuation of island hopping and eventually an invasion of mainland Japan would have meant much more bombing from regular US bombers and a deadly battle for the mainland that would have almost surely caused wide spread famine and desperate recruiting of Japanese citizens as the Nazi's did in their downfall recruiting child soldiers as young as 15, Although the side affects of the nuclear weapons were devastating and caused serious side affects continued bombing and an invasion would have been much more costly in terms of a slow painful defeat of Japan. Argument #3: As I pointed out mostly above as well an invasion of Japan would have been hugely costly with the dishonorable sentiment it would bring to a Japanese family for surrendering it would have been a bloody suicidal campaign. With the desperate banzai charges, Ritual suicides of Japanese commanders, Kamikaze and the mass suicides of civilians as seen in the mass suicides at Marpi Point Secretary of War Henry Stimson's study predicting 1. 7-4 million American cultivates is accurate to say the least and an almost complete fight to the death by hundreds of thousands of defenders awaiting.
