re: Do you feel bad about the US dropping the atomic bombs on Japan?

I'd rather that happen than dropping atomic bombs over the general population of Japan.

Are you freaking serious? There are estimates of causalties being near 1 million just to take the Japanese homeland by invasion. Unlikely I would even be here to argue that we should have dropped the bomb over invading, had the opposite occurred. My grandfather, a veteran of the Soloman Islands, was likely headed there before they dropped both bombs and Japan surrendered.
