Yeah, my dad told me about it years ago, but I only read the full story recently. The idea of them having to overcome their own nature and kill again is just too horrible for words.
Oh, wow. It's interesting to see another reaction from the American side with regard to Hiroshima. I've read and watched a lot about that day and remember the pilot and his crew, and those around them, being adamant that it had to happen, it was just a job. But surely everyone couldn't have felt like that? Surely the sheer numbers -hundreds of thousands dead within minutes - horrified some. Well, now I now that it did one, at least.
