On this we agree completely. I make it a point to wish my family and coworkers a Happy Hiroshima and Nagasaki Day every 6th and 9th. The largest example of FAFO ever.
Dad was in the south Pacific in WW2, a Navy Seabee. He was on Guam when we dropped the bombs. My wife's father was also a Navy man. Set to ship out to the war in the Pacific. I don't think either one of us would have been here, had we not have nuked them. Same goes for a good portion of your readership. Thanks for reminding us of why is was done. Bear in Indy
I've always been of the opinion that, when these little pissant countries like Iran and NORK and Pakistan start trying trying to flex their non-existant muscles on the world stage, we should launch an unarmed ICBM aimed at something like a soccer stadium in their country's capitol which buries the whole rocket body about 100 feet into the ground, leaving a giant smoking hole in what used to be a soccer pitch, followed up by a letter stating something like "smarten up and become good global citizens or the next ones will armed. Ask the Japanese how that worked out for them." What's the point of having this capability if you don't use one occasionally when the situation warrants it to send a clear message to stop the FA or they will surely FO.
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.

Word.
My Dad's 18th birthday present. He was in uniform, learning Japanese and training for an invasion that thankfully was unnecessary.

As a wise man once said "Don't start nothin', won't BE nothin'"
And that's how you end a war.
