It suggest only two options. (1) Bomb a civilian city or (2) Start a ground invasion of the country. We didnt have to pick a civilian city as a target. In late 1945, the Japanese were prepared to fight to the death, down to the last child capable of carrying a sharp stick. The US was quite willing to let them do so. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:914055846] in Was the at...
