Subject: RE: BS: Obit: Paul Tibbets
Again--- I think some think that Gen. Tibbets was not troubled by what he participated in. If you read between the lines of his verbal account, he was clearly horrified in the moments afterwards. Where moments stretch to decades.
As a 'Colonel' in the Commemorative Air Force, I stand and salute Gen. Paul Tibbets, USAF (Ret) for doing his duty as he saw it, and living, like so many vets, with the consequences to his spirit and psyche.
