I shudder to think about what the DUmmies are saying about Tibbets.

Wow, I looked at DU expecting to see the usual BS, but was quite surprised ....

   He did what he had to do. RIP.

   He saved my grandfather and countless others...

   my Dad too

   I now have an OMD earworm

   I read a lot about him. When he was training the bomb group he was very young.

   my Dad had orders to go to Japan

   You know, it's moments like these when I'm sorry I'm an atheist.

   Please die n/t

   Blaming Paul Tibbets for Hiroshima is like blaming your local McDonalds manager...

   I suppose concentration camp commanders in WW2 were not to blame either?

      Paul had very, very, very little idea of what he did and why...

      I always thought he was the one who was in fact aware of what it was that he was doing...

         more than his crew, but that's not sayng much....n/t

      He attacked an enemy target in a shooting war.

   The bombing also saved the life of my very very dear friend.

   RIP

   I could care less that he's gone.

   Well, at least the men that piloted those planes know using nukes is WHACK!!!!

   Whoever got the A-bomb first would have used it.

   RIP

   RIP Brigadier General Tibbets
