Posted in: By The Numbers: The atomic bombing of Hiroshima See in context
I'm glad these terrible weapons haven't been used since. The human race is doing well in that WW3 has not occurred. As a former marine who volunteered for NBC (Nuclear Biological Chemical) training and taught a class in nuclear weapons I've come full circle as a hawk to a dove. I hope we can abolish these weapons. I pray for the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. My love for Japan comes from the fact of her emergence from the devastation of nuclear attack and defeat to a place that exemplifies the best in all of us. Give peace a chance.

Make them go to AA meetings and if this happens again terminate them. I've been clean and sober since 02. I bet those jobs have excellent benefits and pensions. If I make it back to Japan my focus will be the food, the women, the scenery and the shinkasen.

China should leave the past alone while she builds up her military. I'd certainly support a strong, remilitarized Japan. The Japanese are an example of discipline and dedication recognized by all the world.

RIP. "Wake up Little Susie"and "Bye Bye Love",I remember those songs. Although I'm a Motown and British invasion fan, I liked those records. True Rock and Roll. "Wake up Little Susie" had to have been very risque back in those days. These songs will live on.

I'd love to live in Japan because of Toho studios. I am 54 and still love all the kaizu. I'd run home from school as a boy to watch those monster movies. Japan is king of scifi. the anime is also number one. A creative and imaginative nation. I hope I can visit it again before I die.
