Oh fuck that. Look how Russian soldiers acted at the end of the war.
The only fact that matters is WINNING with as few losses on your side as possible. In the case of Japan that meant US soldiers not having to take every square inch of Japan one person at a time as that country was prepared to fight or commit suicide down to the last person.
Dropping the 2 atomic bombs saved many many US lives and compared to a ground war it also saved many Japanese lives as well. The entire country of Japan would have fought down to the last person just like on the islands US troops had to previously take.
Imagine that slaughter ........ No one surrendering. Every person either shot, or committing suicide. In fact even after the bombs fell Japan'n military still didn't want to surrender.
