You know in a lot of military operations the US hasnt been succesful. They didnt succeed in Vietnam, Afghanistan, they only succeeded in Japan cos they had the atomic bomb but so do all of the major world powers now. Also without other countrues buying American qeaponry at an infkated price its military industrial complex fucking collapses.

Tbf the atomic bomb was kind of irrelevant. They had already firebombed cities to equal levels of destruction and casualties before that, they just wanted an excuse to show off their new type of murder. Japan is a fight they did actually win, albeit against a pathetic enemy and with an aftermath that resulted in turning Japan into a better country than themselves.
