One thing I've noticed here is how adamant Americans are at how many lives they SAVED by dropping two nukes. They'll talk about it until they're blue in the face, as if they'd acted out both options and decided one was better than the other. I wish my crystal ball worked that well.
Anyone else read about how the US changed the fuel source in napalm, gave it a new name, and used it most recently in Iraq? Do we need to even touch Vietnam in terms of chemical weapons?

The bombs were dropped on Japan to force their surrender before the Russians could join the fight against the, thus forcing another partition like we had in Germany.
As to Napalm, at risk of sounding repetitious, it is not a chemical weapon.
