My dad was certainly glad the bombs were dropped. He was scheduled for the invasion. He was in the artillery.

I have no sympathy for imperial Japan.

My dad was the youngest of six boys (farm family) and enlisted in the 13th Airborne Division in '44. He went to France, but didn't see combat, before going back to the U.S. to stage for the invasion of Japan.

No one in his company was upset when the bombs ended the war. To this day, he refuses to buy anything made in Japan.
