      Or is it the fact that war is now home and can wipe out all?
      Some argue that WW3 has not occurred yet because we realize it will be the last.
      Remember, the US estimated that 10 million Japanese would die in a conventional invasion. The Japanese government expected 1/3 to 1/2 of its population would die.

That was pretty cool. The Clash, PIL, Stiff Little Fingers and more I saw there. I saw James back in the day too, oh and Stone Roses eventually. Yes we had some great times, when we were young, we grew up listening to The Beatles, T Rex and David Bowie.......it doesn't get much better.

    Enola Gay
    You should have stayed at home yesterday
    Ah-ha words can't describe
    The feeling and the way you lied
    These games you play
    They're going to end in more
    Than tears some day
    Ah-ha Enola Gay
    It shouldn't ever have to end this way
    It's eight fifteen
    And that's the time that it's always been
    We got your message on the radio
    Conditions normal and you're coming home
    Enola Gay
    Is mother proud of little boy today?
    Ah-ha this kiss you give
    It's never ever gonna to fade away
    Enola Gay
    It shouldn't ever have to end this way
    Ah-ha Enola Gay
    Should've faded our dreams away
    It's eight fifteen
    And that's the time that it's always been
    We got your message on the radio
    Conditions normal and you're coming home
    Enola Gay
    Is mother proud of little boy today?
    Ah-ha this kiss you give
    It's never ever going to fade away

    April 1991, a small town in eastern Poland. My parents' wedding party, people craving Western music after 40 years of communism, and a band that doesn't know a bit of English. The boys played the Enola Gay melody on a loop for 20 minutes, everyone, whether teenagers or 80-year-old grandmothers, had a great time. To this day, this melody evokes my parents' emotions.

      I don't want nuclear bombs used again. Sadly they exist now, and you can't really get rid of them. The knowledge exists, if somehow you managed to destroy all of them, someone would still make them again to gain power over others. So I can't advocate no more nuclear bombs, just I hope they're never used again.

Here in the Philippines the Japanese Empire murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians in various brutal ways such as making them march until they die of exhaustion, bayonetting babies, sex slavery, etc. And they would have killed more if the war hadn't stopped. They murdered an estimate of 10million civilians all over Asia. By comparison, the Nazis murdered 6 million Jews. But you never hear about the Asian death toll in movies and other media.

    Enola Gay
    You should have stayed at home yesterday
    Ah-ha, words can't describe
    The feeling and the way you lied
    These games you play
    They're going to end in more than tears some day
    Ah-ha Enola Gay
    It shouldn't ever have to end this way
    It's 8:15
    And that's the time that it's always been
    We got your message on the radio
    Conditions normal, and you're coming home
    Enola Gay
    Is mother proud of little boy today?
    Ah-ha this kiss you give
    It's never ever gonna to fade away
    Enola Gay
    You shouldn't ever have to live this way
    Ah-ha Enola Gay
    You should've faded our dreams away
    It's 8:15
    And that's the time that it's always been
    We got your message on the radio
    Conditions normal, and you're coming home
    Enola Gay
    Is mother proud of little boy today?
    Ah-ha this kiss you give
    It's never ever going to fade away

The difference between now, and then, is that now people don't even want to live. Your generation had some semblance hope for a brighter future, and economy.

    This song has special meaning to me. I'm a physicist who somehow found myself working for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory back in the 1990's. At its core the place is essentially devoted to developing H-bombs, and I never had any interest in that. Don't they do their job pretty well already?!
    I was on the floppy-necked liberal side of the lab, working on Magnetic Fusion Energy, the long-imagined energy source of the future. But there was clear pressure for me to move over to bomb work, so I eventually quit physics entirely in order to become the independent mad scientist that I am today.

      I would but as I am kind fond of ww2 history, I know why it was done. Hiroshima was not so big compared to Dresden, Tokyo or Nanking to list just a few.

      Enola Gay should have stayed at home yesterday !!
      In my opinion it's just like when two men are having a fight and one of them decide to hurt the woman and the children of the other in a hard way.
      But the real reason is well known of course.
      Two atomic bombs for the attack on Pearl Harbor.

      @@khaelamensha3624 Aye, but the damage there came from numerous pilots, people and vehicles. All Hiroshima took was one plane and one bomb.
