If we hadn't used them in Japan, we probably have used them in Korea five years later. My mother's father was on a carrier in the Pacific and would been a target of the 10,000 kamikaze planes Japan was preparing and my father's father was in a infantry division that was in the process of moving to Saipan to take part in the invasion.
I've read a lot on the subject and dropping the bomb was by far, less bloody then an invasion.
