Many of us here at OL would potentially not be able to put keyboard strokes to a screen because their potential fathers and mothers would not have been alive without bringing the 'Empire' of Japan to the unconditional surrender. The death toll in Hiroshima and Nagasaki paled in comparison to the fire bombings of Tokyo alone!!
Sorry you prepubescent piece of scum, 'infamous?' How so? The despicable word choice by this WWII apologist scum is memorable: The second and last instance came three days later at Nagasaki, where 80,000 perished. It was the first time in human history that an atomic bomb had ever been used. When he was just a young man of 24 years old, Van Kirk was the navigator on the Enola Gay, a B-29 Superfortress, which dropped 'Little Boy' on Hiroshima at 8:15 a.m. Theodore Van Kirk, who was also known as 'Dutch,' died Monday of natural causes at the Park Springs Retirement Community in Stone Mountain, a manager there told NBC Atlanta affiliate WXIA. The last crew member of the Enola Gay - the bomber which infamously* dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan near the end of WWII - has died in Georgia.
