There is nothing happy about 90,000 people being killed because of a Japanese government who refused to surrender. I think that would depend on your point of view. If you were in one of the fourteen divisions assigned to land on Kyushu in Operation Olympic, I don't think you'd find yourslef wallowing in sorrow.
It's not a day for cake and ice cream. But it's also not a day to walk around in mourning. Japan awoke a sleeping giant.

Sorry Tennessee, we should be glad we won a war...but there is no need to celebrate the death of 90,000 people with an A-Bomb. It was an ugly decision thrust upon this country, a decision no doubt the President did not take lightly...The jovial mood of some disgust me. A realist knows we are doomed to fight wars, wars we know we have to win...I just wish we did not have too fight them.
