81 years ago today, the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan. What you may not know: The highest levels of the U.S. military almost unanimously opposed the move. #WW2 #History #USHistory

Was The Atomic Bomb Necessary? Top Military Leaders Said 'No'

The United States ended World War 2 with the use of two atomic bombs. But many in the U.S. government believed the move was unnecessary.

We were extremely fortunate that the Nazis didn't successfully develop one first. It's an interesting point you make that the further we get away from that era, the more likely people are to think about using them since they haven't personally witnessed the devastation and tragedy that results.

US Department of Education Facebook post saying SKILLS THAT PAY OFF, showing an AI image of a White man and a brown-skinned woman wearing blue coveralls and tool belts. He's pointing off into the distance and she's working on a sink that has way too many exposed copper pipes in all the wrong places
