Hiroshima defense is a fascinating glitch in the matrix because at the same time the “we just had to” stretching is going on there’s one of the few instances of American strategists being fully open for one of the few times in modern history by adding on to the end of the defense “and besides, we had to get Japan out early or else the Soviets would have gotten their surrender”
There's also the U.S. Strategic Bombing survey, a contemporary military/civilian research group that concluded the bombs were unnecessary and Japan would have surrendered imminently anyway.
