My Grandfather was a part of the island hopping campaign in the pacific(he was a marine). If Truman hadn’t dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, my Grandfather would have been part of invasion force for Japan. I’m glad Truman dropped the bomb, otherwise my Grandfather might have been killed, and of course my Father wouldn’t have been born, nor would I. John Stewart is a useless sack of sh!t.

My father was an island hopper as well with the Army. He was in the Americal Division which was to set invade the heavily defended island of Kyūshū. The nips would have used poisonous gas on them and hid out in the caves. I don’t think he would have lived to tell about it.
