I know that if I had been a American soldier in 1945 and was miraculously still alive after going through 4 years of hell I would have loved the nuclear bomb with a passion and been deliriously happy that I didn't have to be part of a land invasion of Japan; it would be like getting a last second pardon from the governor and having my execution canceled. I can't sing but I would have felt like singing. You may say that it doesn't speak well as to my character to be so gleeful over the destruction of those 2 Japanese cities, and perhaps it doesn't, but I am certain that if I had been a American soldier in August of 1945 that is exactly how I would have felt.
