My grandfather was on a ship headed to Japan for the invasion when the bombs were dropped. He had already spent four years in Europe as an artillery officer. He had had enough of war by then so he was happy he didn’t die on a Japanese beach.
I've been listening to this as background noise while (in the videogame Project zomboid) killing hundreds of zombies in the rosewood prison. Great background noises! thank you!
Of course Oppenheimer would have felt better if the Japanese had been killed by fire bombs or Soviet bayonets, it wouldn't have been his fault, but I doubt it would have made much difference to the dead.
I am not surprised about fear of communism in the west and I'm so annoyed when children at school are only taught about red scare and treatment of communists in the USA with no comparison to what was happening at the same time in the Eastern bloc, the atrocities there.

@@carlossaraiva8213defensive are we? Why would you have such a problem with people being taught about the horrors that were going on in the early Soviet Union and the Red Scare? Now that the USSR has collapsed, its easy for people to look back at the Red Scare and it's excesses and pretend like there was never anything to be worried about which is total nonsense.

I would have cut Oppie's security clearance in Jan 1946, on principle ... privately.
He didn’t abandon strangling and erotic poetry, he just kept quiet about it. Why do you think the Mrs. drank so?

My logic professor in college was a Manhatten Project veteran. He left physics because of the moral issue.

Yeah, they were actually trying to take over the world. Maybe they still are.
