My father was a WW2 veteran and was a part of the Battle Of the Atlantic but as the war wound down he new his next stop was the Pacific.

“Go in the bathroom and look in the mirror and tell me if you like what you see”
A million American troops’ lives saved and a sudden end to a vicious war.
That’s all I need to understand.
