I got into it with quite a few over in the UK before 911 about us using the bombs on Japan back then. I told them to ask ANY of their WW2 pacific vets about that.
Told them that if we had it a bit sooner, there would have been at least three dropped.
OH THE SHOCK!
At least 1.5 million of our men would have died in the invasion of the home Islands of Japan. At the very least that many.
Really? The country whose air force conducted "Operation Gomorrah" on Hamburg and then superheated the city of Dresden gave an American grief about the Bomb?
