Thank you. Happy Nagasaki Day to you too!

Too many people are trying to brow beat the US over dropping atomic bombs on WWII Japan.

Let them bear witness to our happy day of victory and our pride of the fantastic military achievement.

Let them have no doubt it was the correct thing to do, and we would do it again too.

The alternative would send a wrong historical signal that could lead to a miscalculation on whether we would hesitate to use such weapons again, or we seed doubt in our own minds and in some future war fail to take the necessary action of using such weapons, which could lead to destruction and enslavement.

Speaking historically, it was common for victories to be announced to the public on both sides of the war, which would cause celebration among the people for such great victories. Just because we score the greatest hits, this should be no different. You can bet your bippy that if the shoe was on the other foot they would be celebrating it and we would have lost and most definitely would not be enjoying the modern fruitful lives that the Japanese enjoy today.

" B-29 bomber, called "Bock's Car," after its usual commander, Frederick Bock "

My wife's maiden name was Bock. Very interesting.
