Paul Tibbets, son of Enola Gay, dies at 92
Scrapheap:
Paul Tibbets, who was the pilot of the Enola Gay (named after his mother) that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima, died today in his home in Columbus Ohio.
He insisted that there be no service, and no headstone fearing that it would become a site of protest.
He inssted to his death, that dropping the bomb was the right thing to do.

I saw that not that many WW2 vets around any more some but fewer every year :'( He lived a long life and saw many things in his 92 years. I know my uncle was thankful for what he did because Japan was his next stop in his island hopping tour around the Pacific

Yeah, I wonder why that is. I don't know ANY WWI or ACW vets.
I guess war isn't good for people.

Fucking people. Can you imagine what would've happened if we'd waited until Japan developed the bomb as well?

Yes war is bad for people but not knowing how bad it really is is even worse
