@OmSigDAVID,
Quote: u opposed to our nuking or fireboming the Japs, Bill???
I have always favored it.
No as the only other course would be an invasion that would had resulted in far far more deaths both to the Japanese and ourselves and perhaps my own father however that does not change the fact that our culture allow us to be far worst and better mass killed then any of group in the history of the world.
Interesting side note the planners of the invasion of the home islands calculated that there would be so many wounded that enough purple hearts was manufacture that to this very day 70 years afterward and after all the other conflicts we been in, we are still using that supply of medals.
So anyone wounded in the middle east is still receiving a medal that was to be given to soldiers invading the home islands!!!!!!!
