A little bit of history that should never be forgotten.

The dome it went off above is a weird place, smack in the middle of a gleaming modern city. Very unsettling.
Japanese children pretty much all go to Hiroshima at some point to learn.

Yet it could have been avoided if the national "pride" of the Japanese had let them surrender.

Should have dropped it on soldiers heads the dirty bastards.
Bill Watt was in the U.S. force ready to invade Japan in August 1945. Recently married, he wrote to his young wife he thought he would not survive.
He was in no doubt Truman's decision shortened the war, saved his life and the lives of many others. He went home to his wife and lived a long and good life as a professor. He also made three daughters, one of whom married an Englishman from Manchester. We are eternally grateful to Harry Truman.

Both bombs were a mix of an experiment and a show of force. Since when do these twats care about cannon fodder?
