| I found it unbelievable when I posted the amount of these the US manufactured during ww2 (3,898)
With respect to the deaths from the dropping of the Atomic bombs, it is much clearer now that they would have bombed Japan out of existence if left to use conventional warfare. (Strategic bombing)

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."
(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
