Can't really say I care what they would say about me: their country started the war. Mine ended it.
cept they died in the blasts
Good. Their deaths were part and parcel of the bargain they accepted when they acquiesced to the fascist leadership that led them into a war of conquest in the Pacific, and commenced, incidentally, with a sneak attack on our country.
And, beyond all that happy horsecrap, to the extent that their deaths afforded my grandfather the opportunity to live--to avoid his inevitable participation in Operation "Olympic" and "Coronet"--I say I'm quite delighted by the outcome.
Now, get lost you filthy quisling troll.
>>to the extent that their deaths afforded my grandfather the opportunity to live
So you'd trade two cities for your grandfather? Isn't that rather selfish? Trust me, your grandfather isn't worth two cities... None of us are..
