Hiroshima and Nagasaki both leave me with a warm and fuzzy feeling, when I think of ALL of the AMERICANS that survived because of these bombs... and ALL of their AMERICAN offspring that were born because their fathers did not die invading the Japanese homeland!

I am one of those offspring! My father was a drill sargent at Camp Pendleton getting our recruits and himself ready for the invasion of Japan. From people I have talked to who have seen the defenses of Japan's shores, it would have made D-Day look like a picnic.

Thank you. I sometimes feel forgotten in these discussions.

I believe I'm one of them. My Father would have went into Japan had a ground invasion been ordered.

Don't forget all of the Japanese that survived because of the bombs. Japanese casualties would have been in the millions if the Allies had had to invade.

My father falls into that category. He had completed a tour in the ETO with the 319th BG and the group was moved to Okinawa shortly afterward. His group dropped leaflet bombs on Japan the week before warning of a devastating attack if they did not immediately surrender. He might not have been as lucky in the Pacific as he was in Europe. Better a million dead Japanese than one more allied death.
