Those two bombing runs saved so many lives it was a act of mercy on our enemy and blessing for our men

Saved millions of lives both Japanese and American.

It was horrific, but needed.

When this story pops over at the WashCompost the comments section will have vile comments about this man’s death....mark it down.

"Those two bombing runs saved so many lives it was a act of mercy on our enemy and blessing for our men"

So very true. They had to be the most important military flights in history(that we know of).

Thanks and God’s speed Captain Albury.

Col. Paul Tibbets and his men broke the Japanese fanaticism with their two atomic bombs and thus paved the way for an end to the war and the killing, the prevention of many additional deaths, and the free and prosperous Japan that we’ve known for 60+ years.

Despite lots of criticisms from Lefties who are freaked out about nuclear weapons, nobody could reverse or take away from them what they did. They had every reason to be proud for all their days.

A good oppourtunity for Obama to apoligize; after all those evil military pilots killed innocent people.

When my pop was asked what he thought about nuking Japan he is a WWII vet he would always say “They should not have asked us to dance”
