Same here! My dad was with Paton’s Acorn Division and after the European war stopped he was schedled to retrain for the invasion of Japan.
When the world was notified of the use of nukes he was greatly relieved that the war was over.
Interesting not: After the bombing of Nagasaki the US firebombed another city causing about as many casulties as the A-bombs did, but no one noticed because they were regular bombs and not nukes.
Somehow the world is ok with 1000 planes killing 100,000 people but one plane doing the same thing sticks in their craw. They should talk to the men who did not have to invade Japan.
I was one of the young infantry replacements on Leyte who did not have to experience the invasion of Japan. I posted comments earlier.
