More attempts by the left at revisionist histor

My take also.
I don’t beleive a single quote.
I’ve read a lot of ww2 generals autobiographies
Admiral Nimitz clearly showed a distaste for this weapon, as did someone like Admiral Lockwood (in his book, “Sink ‘Em All” where he spends most of the last chapter expressing his dislike of the concept of nuclear weapons. He was in charge of sub warfare in the Pacific in WWII)
It isn’t uncommon in things I have read about many of those men to see them distance themselves from the weapons, so some of those quotes may or may not be true. But they don’t surprise me.
But as another poster stated, it doesn’t make any difference what they said. To understand the exigencies of the times, you look at what they did, even though many of them did not know details of the project.
