Justification for what amounts to bringing a victorious end to the worst war ever fought? My daddy came home. Yes, it was worth it.
And just think. If the Japs had not launched the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor there would have been no Atom bombs at all dropped on them....maybe.
Me too. My dad was in the Navy, training for the invasion of Japan. People today are clueless as to the sacrifices made during WWII. I remember my mom telling me their weekly gasoline ration was three (3) gallons.
Exactly. My uncle came home as well. He fought on Okinawa and to this day despises the Japanese. Two years ago was the only time I’d ever heard him talk about the war. All he said was, “Bad things happen in war and we have to get over them. After being on Okinawa for two days we had a pile of shells two feet high from firing so much (he was a machinegunner)”
He’s now 97, almost blind and can hardly walk. But he’s one hell of a man! Been married to my aunt since he came back.
