“Truman’s decision to use the atomic bombs to end the war was correct.”
That’s about all that needs to be said.
My Dad was out there in that huge armada waiting to invade Japan. In 2002, General Tibbits told me that he was glad those guys made it back.
A WW II vet who served with my father in England had quite a bit of postwar experience in Europe. He told me that Hiroshima/Nagasaki also saved untold millions of lives in Europe/Russia, because Stalin was trying to get the bomb. He also said that the fact the US got there first pretty much cooled his plans off.
More lives saved...
