Tucker derangement syndrome is real.

“It always appeared to us that, atomic bomb or no atomic bomb, the Japanese were already on the verge of collapse." -General Henry H. Arnold Commanding General of the U.S. Army
Air Forces Under President Truman

"Japan was at the moment seeking some way to surrender with minimum loss of 'face'. It wasn't necessary to hit them with that awful thing."
- General Dwight D. Eisenhower

Needless to say every American has a right to evaluate whether the drastic measure of dropping a nuke on a non-military target in a country that had been on the defense for two years (plus negotiating their surrender) was necessary.

You may ultimately conclude it was or wasn’t not— but your right to think critically and express your views is about as American as it gets.

Will also add here some Christian historical facts: In Nagasaki, the bomb was dropped 300 yards from a Catholic Church— Urakami cathedral. Nagasaki was the epicenter of Japanese Catholicism, home to the second largest cathedral in the East.

Church was in session when the bomb was dropped. Of the approximately 12,000 Christians living there at the time, 8,500 were killed, including several dozen parishioners and two Catholic priests, who were hearing confessions in the cathedral that morning.

Very few military men were killed— the overwhelming majority of victims were women and children.
