Answer 1

It's either "Some military leaders felt that dropping the atomic bomb was not ethical. " or " Some military leaders resigned in opposition to dropping the atomic bomb "

Answer 2

I would think that the answer would be " The decision to drop the A-Bomb had little support amoung military leaders." because the A-bomb was dropped in 1945. after five years have passed then we began to see the effects it had. Not only did people die from the original blasts, people also died from radiation poisoning and other varios effects .
