On August 8, 1945, two days after the destruction of Hiroshima, former President Herbert Hoover wrote, “The use of the atomic bomb, with its indiscriminate killing of women and children, revolts my soul.””

War is hell, and as General Curtis LeMay said, it is your duty to end it as soon as possible.

Tell of your revulsion to the hundreds of thousands of sailors, soldiers, marines, and airmen who were preparing for the invasion of mainland Japan.

And how could President Truman have justified that operation when he had the means at hand to end the war with minimum loss of American lives?

And finally, the use of the bombs saved untold countless Japanese lives too.
