In discussion about Hiroshima at work the other day, a young man said, wow, but that was 200,000 people in one day! He is a Iraq veteran, but I was astounded at the perspective that is lost on younger people who perhaps did not know people or who had family members who fought in the war, relaying how many were slaughtered at the hands of the Japanese. They started it. We finished it. And that should have been the end of it.
It’s been conditioned into people that America is always the bad guy.
