One of the difficulties in talking with Americans in particular about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is that many of them have, at best, a half-remembered high-school version of that history in their head, and the subject is typically not covered well in high school.

And so many Profs are so far left that they have a singular, biased view of history and refuse to honestly engage by giving evidence to support their claims that America had (or was even aware) they had any other choice than to deal w/a culture willing to die than surrender.

OK — so I guess you weren't interested in learning? I outlined an uncontroversial understanding of the timeline, and gave references. But it doesn't align with the beliefs you already had — and your **FIVE WHOLE DAYS** of research — so you're now just insulting me?

If you really want to insult me, bringing up my education is not really the best way to do it. If you haven't used NUKEMAP, check it out. I bet you'll find it interesting, despite yourself.http://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/
