My Dad was in the Navy during WW2 in the Pacific. Was in from Summer 1943 until the end of 1945 when he earned enough points to be discharged. He won 7 battle stars. Saw lots of heavy action.
He told me that on board ship they had informed the sailors to be prepared to invade Japan, and word was every man, woman, and child was armed and would attack and they would fight to the death. Not hard to believe considering these were the same people who had their own funeral prior to climbing into planes to attack American ships. The fleet he was in was headed towards the mainland when orders came for every ship to turn 180 degrees away from Japan and go away at full speed. It was only after the bomb was dropped they were told about it.
So for all the libtard idiots out there, you bet the American men fighting that war were more than happy the bombs were dropped and the war was over. You nimrods can go take a long walk off a short pier.
I also was able to attend a speech by Col. Robert Morgan, a native of Asheville, NC and who flew the Memphis Belle, about a year before he died. In talking about the war and the eventual end, he also expressed his pleasure that the bombs were dropped on Japan because, and I remember his exact words, "We were all sick and tired of fighting the war and wanted to go home."
