Waaaa! Alberta’s Child won’t agree with me! Waaaa!
When discussing this subject, I’ve learned to dismiss one particular type of argument out of hand. It’s the one that begins with some variation of: “My father/grandfather/uncle/etc. would have been part of the invasion force if the bombs hadn’t been dropped …”
I can understand the sentiment, but that’s pretty much all it is. You can take the exact same approach to question and undermine every military action in human history. How many Americans weren’t born because Abraham Lincoln couldn’t just leave the Confederacy alone? :-P
