Ms Gold should realize the Admiral Leary and his staff worked for years on the invasion plan for Japan. The plan was called "Operation Downfall", and by Leary's staff estimate, the invasion of Japan would cost a million allied casualties and tens of millions Japanese casualties. With the Manhattan Project and the use of two atomic bombs, there were approximately 200 thousand Japanese casualties, and the war ended in 4 days with no allied casualties. I believe Leary's opposition to the atomic bomb was that it deprived him of a large scale invasion of Japan, and his place in history alongside General Eisenhower’s invasion of Europe called Operation Overlord.

From: The A-bomb was unnecessary
