So,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,what would you say to my uncles, one who died on the march at Bataan, the other who suffered his whole life from the tortures he received there?

I’ve always had satisfaction about Hiroshima as retribution for what my uncles, and millions of others endured.

Unseemly doesn’t even begin to express my distain towards your PC attitude about the sacrifices our soldiers made.

If I could, I would thank them for their service.

It's been a few years since I read Truman's account of deciding to drop the bomb. A host of practical considerations went into it, but I don't recall retribution being among them.

I understand the satisfaction of retribution and revenge. It has led me to bad decisions in my life.
