it still something that no one should ever have to be put through..read an autobiography book that was written by a pilot who flew on escort missions for the kamikaze and lost his best friends and watched them fly into ships. the day before he was to have his last flight he visited his family in hiroshima and watched the bomb fall. goes into depth about the time he spent stumbling around the ruins 6 hours after the bomb. he woke up and was dug out of rubble.
the story opened my eyes to the resentment that some japanese felt toward the tokyo government for the "senseless deaths and propaganda".
great great book written by pilot Yasuo Kuwahara called Kamikaze

today nagasaki was bombed
