He’d better not. Those two bombs saved millions of lives, including my father.

My Dad too, they had orders to get ready to assault the mainland before the A-Bomb order was given.

They also saved the lives of a hell of a lot of Japanese, who would have died in the fight to the death in the invasion of Japan.

Or Truman could have simply taken the Obama approach, apologized for Herbert Hoover and given Japan some money. Of course, Japan today would probably look a lot like North Korea.

Same here! Returned from Europe where he was with Patton’s Third Army, retrained in Kentucky and Nashville TN for Japan when the bombs fell. He was so relieved everyone then knew “it” was almost over! It was!

Likewise, but Lurch won’t issue the apology for dropping the bomb; his lord and master, Iman 0buttbongo. He is, and will be a disgrace..
