"Virtually all of the folks nuked in Japan are dead. It happened 70 years ago."
No. It was 60 years ago and it allowed my Dad to come home from fighting in the Pacific.
Not likely any of the decision makers back in 1941 managed to be at Nagasaki or Hiroshima and get nuked only to survive until today.
My Dad had been LeMay's flying crew chief. My existence relies on a chain of events thinner than the finest hair anywhere in the universe.
I don't blame women and children for their nation's wars.
I'm glad your dad made it back. My dad, and hundreds of thousands of others, never had to take part in the invasion of the Japan home islands. My dad survived to engender me and to become a three-war veteran and career officer in the USN.
