To Drop Or Not To Drop? That Is The Question!

Why did the U.S. drop bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? That's what people should ask themselves when they are thinking when they are about to critize the Americans. So why did they drop the bombs. I believe that it was not just to kill Japanese militants. Although there were several things wrong with dropping the bombs on Japan the end goal may have been worth the critisism. The main problem with dropping the bombs on Japan is the fact that the full damage they could cause was and had not been tested thoroughly enough to know what the long term effects were. However,  knowing that there was the main reason to drop the bomb. It was the fact that less lives would be lost dropping the bombs then mounting a full scale invasion of Japan plus the damage, yes leveled both Hiroshiam and Nagasaki, but it was less damage then what would be caused during a full scale war on Japanese shores. The problem with the devastation was that it mentally scarred people for the rest of their lives. Those repercussions are still being felt today.  Overall,  yes the Americans should have dropped the bombs on Japan but the repercussions should have been considered and the Americans should have done relief projects for the public in Nagasaki and  Hiroshima. This would softened both the critisism and and th harsh effects of a war against the Japanese government not the Japanese people themselves!
