However, it was felt that more would have died had they not been used; the bombs were dropped in an effort to bring the war to its end without any more deaths than absolutely necessary.
So, the U.S. nuked Japan to end the war quicker, not to minimize civilian casualties... and those specific cities were chosen to prove out strength. Perhaps you should actually know and understand something before you post

As I understand it, the missle-shield portion has been tested, but in the same way that a sledgehammer could batter down a normal shield, a strong enough missle strike could overwhelm the missle shield.
