I think they published them because they found them interesting. Most of them are not.

I did not read anything that suggested the raid was anything other than a normal, every day, bombing run. For a city that size, I am kind of surprised that much of it was still standing.

The part that got my suspicions going was the “printing the photos in leaflets” for schools as part of a “peace study”.

The Japanese often refuse to face up to their role in the war and focus on our efforts to get them to quit.

I remember vividly watching Japanese war movies on Japanese TV while I was a guest of the Tachikawa USAF Hospital in 1967. In each of them, swarms of Japanese ships and aircraft sank our aircraft carriers, one after another. Damn movies made me angry - apparently, the lesson wasn’t fully learned.
