In our history of developing the atomic bomb, what do you think was our intent. Peaceful of course. What else could possibly be an acceptable answer.
I'm not clear, to the historian who posted this line... Is this actually what you believe and all those letters just came out of your fingers wrong? Or do you really believe that it is unacceptable if the US developed the bomb for military use not for peaceful intent?
The second bomb was dropped on Japan on August 9th. By Aug 13 the next bomb was complete and ready to be shipped and the development line was producing a new one due about every 10 days. The concern of the military was whether to drop them one at a time or consider waiting for a larger supply and using them tactically rather than for psychological effects. So a demonstration bombing on non-populated target would have only delayed the war by about 10 days. It is simply not true that we had 2 bombs and that was the end of our supply.
