one very important detail
that has been left out of
the history books regarding
this bullshit claim about how
the atomic bombings supposedly
"saved American lives": "Such a
justification was neither needed
nor used by President Truman in
the weeks immediately following
the obliteration of Hiroshima,
followed within days by the sur-
render of Japan, since the public
overwhelmingly approved of the
action."
