Re: Hiroshima on TV
Who are the Accy Web bleeding hearts? Am I one? Do I get a little bleedin' badge?
If you are fighting a war you use everything at your disposal to win. The Allies had the atomic bomb and used it to end the war in the East against the Japanese. This doesn't mean you can't sympathise with the death and mutilation this event caused, just as you can feel pity and sadness for the civilian victims of the Blitz.
The fact that there hasn't been a world was on this scale for sixty years, speaks volumes about the decision to use the two atomic bombs in Japan.
Do I have to hand my badge in now?
