I was stationed there, and we were advised to not go downtown on the anniversary of the worst bombing day.

And my uncle was stationed in Japan; he was told not to go to Hiroshima or Nagasaki during their anniversary of their atomic bombings You think we shouldn't have dropped those bombs? He was told not to go to towns where we fired bombed either; you think we shouldn't have dropped those bombs? more "civilians" died in the fire bombings of Japan than did Dresden, and in a shorter period of time

I think we should kill as many of the enemy, soldier and civilian, as fast as we can.

When we intentionally killed civilians, we won wars that stayed won.

Ever since, when we try to not kill civilians, we win battles, but not wars—and the sites of the battles we won may revert back.

And I don’t think muslims would be different than Japs and Gerries. They’d know when they were whipped, and wouldn’t want to go back and try again.

The two atomic bombs dropped on Japan ended it, avoided an amphib invasion, saved countless Japanese and American lives.

It was an humanitarian act.
