Imagine how many lives in Europe would have been saved if we had the A-bomb a year earlier?

Most of the lives saved would of been those the modern political Left weeps loudest about now. The Jews, and other oppressed minorities, in the death camps who would of been liberated much earlier.

The Political Left really is the Hive of Hypocrisy.

BTW, no lives would have been saved in Europe due to the use of the atom bomb. After all, we did not yet have one.

On the other hand, we can see in retrospect that the entire European campaign, from the time of the first invasion at Oran, to the Battle of the Bulge, was absolutely unnecessary just as long as we had a bomber platform in Iceland.

The Third Reich could have been rolled up in a couple of weeks if we'd just waited until September 1945.
