Thank God for the Bomb.

[The Free Engineer]

You can say that again.

My Dad was to turn 18 in November of 1945 and thanks to High School ROTC he was a qualified pilot with four years of experience in gliders and powered flight. If not for the bomb he probably would have been flying in the invasion of Japan.

Thank God for the Bomb.
Giant mega ditto on that - if we hadn't used the nukes, my Dad would likely have been killed during the invasion and I would not be sitting here today.
My father never knowingly purchased any Japanese products and referred to them as Japs until his dying day.

My dad fought with Patton’s Third Army. Upon completion of Europe, he was sent back to the US to train for the invasion of...JAPAN.

When they heard of the Atomic bombs, they knew it was over and all breathed a sigh of relief.
