What's a 'Commemorative Air Force'?

It's hard to see how killing people could save more. It's also impossible to guess what would have happened if the bombs hadn't been dropped.

If you see this on a small, short term scale, it was horribly wrong. If you have a longer, wider view, maybe the bombing DID prevent many more deaths than it caused, and maybe it just showed the world just how deadly this technology was and how dangerous humans could be. Maybe years down the road, other lives will have been saved because those two bombs showed what we were capable of. Nobody can know.

It takes either an incredibly unfeeling person or an incredibly strong one to deal with the results of dropping a nuke. I don't believe Brig. Gen Paul Tibbets Jr. was unfeeling.
