Using the A-bomb

[Bobo Adobo]

The war could have dragged on for maybe even a decade, the japanese were on the verge of discovering and perfecting major technoligical brackthroughs at the time. These included being able to launch a 100% sub-marine based offensive(including aircraft carrying subs), and Jet fighters that could easily outmatch allied planes. They also were developing the first attack helicopters.

In the end the allies would still would have won, since they would have been reinforced with with men fighting on the european front. it would have taken a lot longer, and a lot more deaths so all in all I think the bomb had to be dropped. Maybe not in Hiroshima, but it had to be dropped.
