OK....I am not real sure where I stand on this. My dad was on the first ship in to Yokahama harbour after the bomb....he said they might have surrendered but never lived that way because of bushido.....

He also said that McArthur was a swell headed asshole.....
If we wanted to impress Moscow, why wasn't Patton allowed to go there?

Do you really think the kamikaze attacks would have stopped w/o the Bomb? (real question...not rhetorical)

Dad is dead now so I can't ask him....
