Not long from now, it will be Monday morning, August 6 in Hiroshima, Japan.

Let's pause, and remember the time when men were men, and the sheep knew their
place. A time when we actually gave our enemies the thumping they so thoroughly
deserved, without endlessly whining about it.

Yes, it will soon be the 62nd Anniversary of the Atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

And, I'm certain it will be mentioned on shortwave, so keep your radio on.

And let us not forget that the Germans and to a lesser extent the
Japanese had some semblance of a program to develop nuclear weapons
and that until early 1945 we were fighting two wars on separate sides
of the world. The Germans wisely gave in after we slowly ground them
down. The Japanese unwisely chose to not give in after we also ground
them down. We could not be fighting a land war with the Japanese into
the late 1940's while also having to contend with the Soviets. I can
understand the public sentiment to not want to lose another U.S.
soldier after we had lost so many already in two wars we did not
start. For several reasons we had to stop the war quickly and not
dillydally around with hopes the japanese might someday come to their
senses and give in.
