Question for you.... Have we met?

Are you a loyal terrier for the poster I quoted.?

Do you just think you can roll up on me and use this style of language?

You may post like the people I have been speaking with, but
you may want to back off the tone a bit.

Do I at this point need to swing back with some ur momma slams?

I don't need to read about a subject that has no way of being resolved you just punish yourself trying to understand these thing..go ahead. have at it.

Read away.

Here have a hand-up. The debate is over what's done is done and you cannot understand any of it, your OP's are wrong you weren't there.

The man is dead you have no ability to ask him all else is BS.

You have to be kidding me. If you dont think that he would have wondered, perhaps even dozens of times during the rest of his life, about the masses of people that were killed because of the weapon that was dropped from his plane you have no empathy, and no fucking comprehension of rational thought.

And I can use whatever words I fucking want, be them too big for you to comprehend, or "dirty" enough to offened you.

Do me a favor and walk off a cliff.

DANG ,YOU GOT ME!!!!

Go follow your new leaders some more, i'm down with it.

You can even wonder if you want ........that he may have thought of it never .

You can stay up all night wondering if he wondered 3.5 times or 63 thousand.


You could write a book about it I know a guy who reads alot.

It's possible this guy just thought nothing every night...who knows.

The military dicipline type. They follow their orders and tune out the emotions because they break down the machine.

I don't care if you kill one or 140,000 people. As soon as you start thinking too much about who you killed and how that effected who was left behind or at home, it's psycological fuckland.

The key to killing is not to think too much about it. We are the green team and they are the red team. They lost. Now go to bed.

U.S. pilot who dropped Hiroshima bomb dies:

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Paul Tibbets, the pilot of the U.S. bomber that dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan on August 6, 1945, died on Thursday at age 92, a newspaper reported.

Tibbets, who died at his home in Columbus, Ohio, had suffered strokes and was ill from heart failure, the Columbus Dispatch said in its online edition.

An experienced pilot who had flown some of the first bombing missions over Germany during World War Two, Tibbets was a 30-year-old colonel commanding the Enola Gay, a B-29 Superfortress bomber named for his mother.

After a six-hour flight to Japan, Tibbets' crew dropped the bomb, code-named "Little Boy," over Hiroshima at 8:15 a.m.

"If Dante had been with us on the plane, he would have been terrified," Tibbets said later. "The city we had seen so clearly in the sunlight a few minutes before was now an ugly smudge. It had completely disappeared under this awful blanket of smoke and fire."

The bomb instantly killed about 78,000 people. By the end of 1945, the number of dead had reached about 140,000 out of an estimated population of 350,000.

Three days later the United States dropped an atomic bomb nicknamed "Fat Man" on Nagasaki. Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945, bringing World War Two to an end.

Tibbets said in interviews he did not regret the decision to drop the bomb.

He became a brigadier general before leaving the military in 1966. Later he was president of Executive Jet Aviation, a Columbus-based international air-taxi service, the newspaper said.

hey, like it or not,the gentleman who piloted the "enola gay" in 1945 deserves every americans' respect. my grandfather was drafted into the navy and served during WWII. he was a radio operator on board the USS Missouri after it was raised,retro-fitted, re-commisioned and put back into service in late 1943 or early 1944 as part of the pacific fleet. this is what my grandfather told me before he died from cancer in 1989.
Robert Taft Hughes, Sr.
if I am wrong, i apologize. I am going on the info i was given when i was 10 years old in 1987, 20 years ago. the last time i saw my grandfather was when i was 10 in late 1987. my grandfather did not really discuss what went on during the war-ever. but i visited him before he passed and i pleaded with him. "Gramps,(my father's father,this is what everyone called him.his wife, and my only living grand-parent is granny,Sally Anne Hughes). my mother's parents were grandma and grandpa(Lee and Shirley) Ingalls. they are dead.
Anywho, I said to gramps in 1987, the last time time I saw him, I was about 10, "Gramps, I know and understand why you do not talk about WWII and your service. I want to know, so I may share with future generations of our family, what you did and what you know about those times because the history books are not entirely accurate. I want to be able to tell the truth to my children and my siblings children as well as future generations that will come around long after you, so that they may know your words and opinions, seeing as how you were there-as well as history books of the time."

"I want to be able to tell them 1st hand things the history books and gov't propaganda fails to mention."

now, seeing as how i lost gramps on june 27th,1989, only a few days before my own 12th birthday, his insights are now of very of great worth to me.anywho, i said to gramps,
"please tell me about your service to this great nation during WWII. I wish to know and under stand your reluctance to discuss it."

fortunately, when i explained to him why i was asking, he understood my reasoning.

In short, my grandfather was the radio operator on the USS Missouri
during WWII.
He says the guy monitoring the radar for enemy aircraft got a bit too close to the radar sceen and got cooked inside out from the microwaves.......the guy was burnt to a crisp. all that was left of him to bury were ashes.
this really made a severe imprint on gramps. when he told me this, I finally understood him a great deal better. unfortunately, we never spoke again after that.

i was not told of his death and funeral until 2 months after the fact.

i still hold it against my father to this day, it is a sore point between us. i am still angry with him for not telling me, but also i still have never seen my grandfather's gravesite. i refuse to go until my father apologizes for not telling me, and for allowing me to attend the funeral and to say my final goodbye to my grandfather.
i have a good relationship with my father, but he knows i am still
really pissed off at him for this.
after 18 years, i still have not forgiven my father, and he has yet to apologize.

[ace diamond]

lounge,i know we do not always agree and we do not always see eye to eye on political matters.

there is no bollocks in what i am saying in this thread.

if i am wrong,or if my grandfather was incorrect in what he told me, please provide me with correct info.
after all, this was 20 years ago, and i was 10 at the time.
I miss my dear Gramps dearly.

bally, when emeror hirohito signed the surrender, the ENOLA GAY was in the air over TOKYO,JAPAN with a-bomb #3 awaiting orders to deploy.

the united states told the emperor if he refused to agree to the terms of surrender that the united states put forth in 1945, tokyo would would be eliminated from the face of the earth and that japan would cease to exist.

they were not joking.

i agree it was a very sad day indeed,but it was a necessary evil.

without the A-bomb, we would not have won the "GREAT WAR".
