In the fall of 1986, I had the opportunity during meetings at Iwakuni Marine Corps Air Station, Japan, to visit Ground Zero and museum and Memorial sites at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. My uncle, Army Corp of Engineers, Lt-Col William Owen Evans, had been one of the first to enter and assess impact at these sites. I had heard many discussions of his visits as a child. My visit observations do not support or validate the use of the nukes to end the war, nor do they support further need for additional forgiving from the USA. Bad actions and decisions were made on both sides. The use of nukes has led to a worldwide activation of potential unneeded destruction by many governments.

The war could have been ended without the use of nukes.

But that approach would have killed Tens. Of. Millions. of Japanese.

Would that have been your preference?
