My Dad is 96 and still running on all 8 .Served in the Pacific with the US Army Signal Corp. He was on a troop ship headed for the staging area for the invasion of the Home islands of Japan when they dropped the bombs and the invasion became no longer necessary. No one would ever be stupid enough to make a comment about how unnecessary the use of the A bomb was to end the war, more than once around my dad. The estimated casualties of our troops for that invasion was over 50% and even more to the Japanese military and civilians. The casualty count from the bombs are only a fraction of what an invasion would have cost in human lives both ours and theirs. Magnum Bob
