Yes. My Dad was a chief on board CV 14 Ticonderoga. They were going to convert Navy personnel to infantry for the invasion. Being a big, stout guy, they had already told him he would be carrying a BAR. Not unreasonable to think he could have been one of the million. The Bomb is probably why I am here today. I think it was a net lifesaver for both sides, by a huge margin. It makes me swallow hard to think of what the alternative would have been.

My dad was a Bataan Death March survivor - 4 years in a POW slave labor camp in Japan. I am only here because of the bomb. I once flew over Tinian and saw the runway where the Enola Gay took off. The plane was full of Japanese tourists visiting Saipan. I still let out a Hell Yeah!!!

Today’s revisionist pukes can go hump a hill. Retards.

The children in our public schools are not told about what really happened in the war in the Pacific. Their teachers only tell them how bad our country is.
