In honor of the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, 6 August 1945.

Let’s see here...

The bombs fell in August of 1945, just as the Allies were planning Operation Olympic, the amphibious invasion of Japan.

Initial casualty estimates were ove 1 million Allied soldiers would be KIA as a result.

The bombs fell, and Japan surrendered a few weeks afterwards - meaning Operation Olympic was cancelled.

Meaning that ONE MILLION men woudl return to America and eslewhere and make babies in the postwar Baby Boom.

How many baby boomers, now in their 60’s and older, would never have been born?

How many hipster millenial Leftists would also never have been born, if their grandfathers died on the beach in Japan?
