"Curious" and PERCEPTIVE , I even tried the "paragraph" thing SUNNI recommended, but when I hit post it still comes out in block form. Yes I've watched documentaries on the atomic bombing . It's difficult and agonizing to be in Truman's shoes because the sheer voracity of Japanese resistance to the Marine landings prior in Okinawa were a bloodbath.Ada (Ada Lovelace).
Enola spelled backwards is Alone. It struck me as fitting as I pondered the horrible weight and significance of all those lives lost. Thanks for the white space you've been putting in too,
The Japanese defense of Japan proper would have been at a levels higher than the Okinawan resistance, there would have been thousands of Kamakaze attacks on the US fleet and casualties for Marines landing in Japan were estimated at over a million. I prefer to look at the friendship we've developed w/ the Japanese people post the brutal Pacific conflict, history shows that many victorious nations colonize vanquished opponents.
We wisely kept their emperor in place who the Japanese regarded as a God, and while there are US bases that don't please all the Japanese we never messed w/ their culture which w/all the USA haters out there I think gets overlooked. Would the same result occurred w/ Stalin, The British, The Roman's,or the Japanese themselves w/their prior history of brutal colonization.
