Should the united states have dropped the atomic bomb on japan during world war II?
Yes, for many reasons. The losses the Japanese suffered with 2 nuclear attacks was far less than the

Total known land area occupied by U.S. nuclear weapons bases and facilities: 15,654 square miles
Today as many as eight nations acknowledge the possession of nuclear weapons.
