Yes EJ an excellent posting , even though it was your Dad's . Was he involved in the European war theatre? Still I wonder would things have happened as he hoped? I think it might have depended on how close the Japanese militarists were to developing their own "superweapon". I have read that Germany was pretty close. What a disaster that the philosophy of "Conscientious objection" did'nt have greater currency so that ordinary people would not be required to kill each other for reasons they seldom fully understand since they are rarely fully informed.
