No wonder my father, who fought the Japs in the Philippines, was so delighted to see the aromic bomb dropped. He knew that if it wasn’t dropped, he and his brethren in the US Army would be facing a nation of people with these values.

My dad fought them in the Philippines as well. He saw what the japanese did to his fellow soldiers. He never mentioned the bomb or very little else about the war. He just drank to forget. I heard horror stories from some of the guys who served with him.

My Father was in the Philippines and New Guinea also. He was a bombardier on a B-24. He once told me the reason that flight crews carried a .45 was not for defense if the plane went down, but to use on themselves in case they survived the crash and were about to be taken prisoner by the Japs.

I believe that your Father's perspectives are shared by all who either served in WW2 or who have studied it honestly.  Such sentiments are typically not shared by those who hate America and use that vitriolic bile as a foundation for their ideological agenda.

Thank God for your Father and for all like him.

I recently found some of my fathers v-mail he sent to my mom. He was serving in Europe during V-E Day. He told my mom that he was hoping that they might give him a month leave before they shipped him to fight in the Pacific.

There is not one veteran of the war in Europe that I have spoken to who was not relieved that they dropped those bombs.

My Dad, a WW II vet, was always adamant about his assertion that dropping the bomb on Japan saved a million American lives. He says he could have been a casualty if the U.S. hadn't shortened the war by dropping the bomb.
