I remember getting into an argument with my history teacher over this.

It was either: A: Invade mainland Japan against a suicidal enemy and lose the lives of a million US Marines, including my grandfather, or B: Use a brand new technology to bring an end the most destructive war in history, a weapon designed by the brightest minds of the last 100 years.

Yeah, Id pick option B too.
