Cambodian carpet-bombing of villages.

Or maybe they were villages that had been turned into guerrilla bases. Why would we want to waste good bombs on innocent civilians? It isn't like we were trying to force Cambodia to surrender.

"...During the Manhattan project the core of the "Gadget" (plutonium) was transported to the Trinity Site in the back seat of a car by a physicist who held it in his lap..."

I am very, very interested in whether this scientist went on to have any kids!

You sound Churchillian. Nicely put.

Thanks, but I must give the credit were due, to my long late father. Now he was "Churchillian". My dad liked to say that Churchill encouraged and gave the otherwise timid and civilized British the permission to be as brutal and vicious as necessary to survive and in surviving, become victorious.

The press, the left and the PC made necessary by the gays and feminists would never permit a Churchill today. He would be silenced.

Weren't the Japanese close to making their own A-bomb and planning to drop it on our cities first?
