“Here is one guy who is glad Harry Truman dropped the big one.”

I second that.
Very proud of our nation for the Manhattan project. It saved hundreds of thousands of American lives.

I walked by the grave of Frank Spedding last week while on my universities campus at Iowa State. Mr Spedding was one of the leaders in processing uranium for the Manhattan Project.
Great men and women.

I'm with you brother. I've never had a problem with that and know full well that it saved the lives of hundreds of thousands who would have perished had we invaded Japan. God bless Harry Truman for making that decision.

Bill Whittle, a conservative essayist wrote one of the best pieces on this a few years ago. It's a lengthy read but quite worth the time.

“The Truth About the Atomic Bombs”...

He also has many essays on the Heroes, some recognized for their deeds, but many unsung, who fought and in too many cases died for our country. I thank them all, as well as the many Freepers who serve and who have served for their service.
