I’d wager most of the idiots who condemn Tibbets and the atomic bombing of Japan would show blank faces if you asked them about the victims of the Bataan Death March and who perpetrated it.

I remember “The Family of Man” and the picture of Tibbetts. This book of photographs was published about 20 years after the war. I did not trust the motives of the photographer or the editor. The photograph did not justly serve the memory of Tibbetts or his comrads in arms who gave all they could to deafeat Imperial Japan. Whether or not Tibbetts descended into alcoholism, plenty who made it back did. As I was growing up, I can’t remember a single one that was pointed out as a victim.

Or "The Rape of Nanking"

And they'd probably think you'd gone crazy if you mentioned that
it was a German diplomatic officer in Nanking that cabled Berlin
(i.e., Hitler, Ribbentrop and the rest of the gang) to loudly protest
that the Japanese military had totally sailed off the map in
terms of brutality towards unarmed men, women and children.

Just from the gut - I don’t think the terms “alcoholic” and “92-year-old” are a match made in heaven...
