Son of Pilot Who Dropped A-Bomb Opposes,

I've met his grandson (he's a B-2 pilot), as well as General Tibbets himself. His son is right.

The japanese should thank us for the a-bombs, they saved countless JAPANESE lives.

Some goon asked General Tibbets if he had visited the Hiroshima Memorial when I saw him give a talk. He said "I've only been to Hiroshima the one time, and I didn't stop."

Everyone laughed except the hippie.

Killing 80,000 people, most of whom are civilians, can be fun!

Actually, technically very few were civilians. By Imperial Edict, all "men" between the ages of 15 and 65 were already officially conscripted, as were all females 17-47.

So the only civilians were boys under 15, girls under 17, men over 65, and women over 47.
