To be clear, the article was prompted by a Tucker Carlson quote on Joe Rogan-
“My ‘side’ has spent the last 80 years defending the dropping of nuclear bombs on civilians… like, are you joking? If you find yourself arguing that it’s a good thing to drop nuclear weapons on people, then you are evil.”
I was 13 when it happened……my neighborhood was delighted…..the adults all had was fatigue .

Tucker Carlson was writing back in 1994/1995 when the Smithsonian had its Enola Gay controversy that set off the the vets and our organizations and conservatives, I wonder what his opinion was back then?
I guess one could argue that we could have had a peaceful end to the war and that bombing people is always bad. I just don’t see why a nuclear bomb is somehow significantly worse than a regular bomb. Getting blown up is bad no matter what.
