WOAH! I think he has the right idea over secrecy in his burial,
though.

Knowing what I know now, I don't know if I could have done his job or
not. Even though it was probablyt he right thing to do, I don't think
it would be a prideful act.

But I wasn't there either.

mixed emotions


If it means anything, my dad was there and thinks they did the right
thing...

When I watch the way the nips treated our soldiers I think we should
nuke them again.
It is very clear that the shock value of those two bombs saved more
Japanese lives than they took. Without the nukes, LeMay was going to
firebomb that island until there was not one structure standing and
then we would have had a bloody invasion that might have killed a
million or more. I doubt we could have ever really occupied the
country peacefully.


I afgree and disagree at the same time.

Thats what I meant when I said: "Mixed emotions"
