Very true.By the time we dropped the two Bombs, Japan was practically defenseless. It's navy was destroyed and it had no air cover. American planes were dropping huge payloads of bombs at will. Thanks to the media who just loved little Give 'em Hell Harry, little is said about the Japanese holdouts who were ready to surrender. Apparently Truman refused to negotiate surrender terms on any level except "unconditional" and the Japanese were concerned about their Emperor being executed and were trying to negotiate with Stalin of all people. Truman authorized the Bomb and the Emperor was spared anyway.
