“Here is one guy who is glad Harry Truman dropped the big one.”

I second that.
Very proud of our nation for the Manhattan project. It saved hundreds of thousands of American lives.

I walked by the grave of Frank Spedding last week while on my universities campus at Iowa State. Mr Spedding was one of the leaders in processing uranium for the Manhattan Project.
Great men and women.

Yes, the left always trots out the number of people that died when the A-bombs went off. However, they will never mention that about 200,000 people a month were dying in all the slave labor camps and POW camps in Japan and in all the areas under Japanese rule.
