Skinny, I didn't even read your entire post because I am over at my brothers' place checking out the site. However, if there is anything in there about dropping two bombs on Japan, ask yourself why we couldn't wait a day or two for Japan's surrender before dropping the second one.

Fabs, forgot to mention that my post above wasn't meant to sound sarcastic. Unfortunately the web can't show facial expressions and gestures properly. Wait, that doesn't sound right either.
About the Marines:
They didn't have a court-martial yet, and I believe they have not yet been charged with specific offenses. But that may have changed and I missed it. So my point is we shouldn't be calling "My Lai" and following the lead of the liberal media just yet.
Japan:
Bomb #1 dropped on 6/6/45 in the early morning.
Bomb #2 dropped on 6/9/45 in the late morning.
3 days were given.
