Thread Name: BS: Obit: Paul Tibbets
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.

Thank you, sir, and rest in peace.
