I don’t think I can watch it right now-—too disturbing.

That said,I was in my early teens when the bombs were dropped and we all cheered.

War is hell.

You want disturbing? Read the accounts from Navy salvage divers who had to go down into ships like the Oklahoma, the Arizona and the West Virgina at Pearl Harbor and remove the bodies of all those young kids who went down with those ships.

That bomb saved my late father-in-laws life. He was a Marine wounded on Iwo Jima and were it not for that bomb he and millions of other American kids might not have lived to see their next birthday. I'm one American who is sick and f**king tired of hearing this bs about how horrible the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were. America didn't want war but Japan did and they paid the price for it. Do you think if the Japs had such a weapon and possessed it on Dec.7.1941 they would have hesitated to use it? F'ing world gets all weepy every time August 6th. and 9th. rolls around but it never gets weepy on Dec.7.
