was the atomic bomb necessary
So, only three days later, the U.S. dropped the second bomb on Nagasaki. The Japanese surrendered on August 14, 1945, eight days after the first bomb was dropped. Major General Curtis LeMay commented on the bomb's use: The War would have been over in two weeks without the Russians entering and without the atomic bomb.The atomic bomb had nothing to do with the end of the War at all..apan was already defeated and dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary.. Those are not the words of a latter-day revisionist historian or a leftist writer. They are certainly not the words of an America-hater.
