Well, what can I say. He´s partly responsible of the deaths of almost 400,000 civilians. Enemy or not, civilians are always civilians. And in this case the bombs were dropped to pure civilian targets. I dont get this kind of warfare.

Agreed Dowly,

It was pure on civilians, 400,000 civilians dead.
I know that the japanese soldiers where an hard wall to push down but still it was soldiers against soldiers, what america did was Soldiers VS Civilians.
doesnt matter how much trouble an war gives , Nukes arent the solution.
Its really an Cowardly action to drop horror on civilians , and that pilot saying that he would do that again. well I would drop him in the middle of the japanese population with an billboard on him saying ''I was the one that droped the nuclear bomb right here, and I,m damn proud of doing that'' see if how much fun he will have to confront the people with that one.

I go a step further and call it a terrorist act of America on Japan. The whole point was to instill fear into the enemy to end the war, and to instill fear is to committ terrorism!

Those bright red and blue bars on the flag seem to get more and more faded as the years pass by with America alwyas wiping it's blood stained hands off on it.
