Posted by Avid Reader on Mon Aug 6 10:09:42 2012 Yes, that's right. Happy!Not for the lives lost, but for those saved! The Leaders in Japan, at that time, needed to have their eyes opened to the fact that the war was lost. That , and no more lives needed to be lost by the civilian population, their military, and the military forces apposed to them. The European war was over, but US military personal that had survived Europe, faced a new peril with the possible invasion of the Japanese Home Islands. Estimates of loses were in the hundreds of thousands , if not millions. They lived, and some here may owe their very existence to "Fat Man" , and "Little Boy" |
