A few things come to mind-

1. My dad drove a landing craft in the PTO. I think my brother and I are probably here because of the A bombs on Japan.

2. We fought the war according to rules the enemy(Japan) understood. Thank God for MacArthur who understood the mindset of the Japanese and for Truman who had the stones to drop said A bomb.

3. Japanese casualties from an invasion of the home islands were estimated in the millions. How many of the ingrates protesting realize they wouldn't be living right now if the U.S. had invaded?

Japan is lucky it isn't a series of barren rocks....

Another interesting point- Hiroshima and Nagaski were supposedly going to be glowing in the dark for thousands of years. They glow in the dark now but because of neon lights. These two cities have been completely rebuilt...
