Although I am definitely not a fan of war and killing, I believe the bomb drops were necessary. My father was at the Port of Embarkation, San Diego. The word was out that all of the service members were going to be involved in the invasion of the main islands of Japan. When the bomb was dropped, my father got a short leave and, with my mother decided that he was likely to come home. They made me. My existence is very important to me, as temporary as it is likely to be.
