I was an Air Force ROTC student in 1964. We discussed the bombings in class and considered the data that President truman was confronted with.

Excellent!

My dad flew B-29's out of Guam. (315th Heavy Bombardment Group, Northwest Field, Guam) We often talked about the necessary evils of war.

He firmly believed, and I agree, that we did what we had to do in order to achieve victory.

Blessings to you, sir!
