My late father-in-law was a Marine who had been wounded on Iwo Jima. While he was recuperating the bombs were dropped, he came home like a million other guys, met my late mother-in-law, got married and had four daughters, one of whom is my wife.

Those bombs weren’t a ‘’war crime’’.

They ended a war we wanted no part of, bought to us by a fanatical enemy who, after having been bombed nearly into the Stone Age refused to surrender.

I notice the folks opposed to the bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki were not in the invasion forces in the Pacific. It’s later day revisionist, liberal historians who question the dropping of the bombs. And I betcha donuts they never served a day.
