From the August 3, 2012, RT.
Clifton Truman Daniel met Hiroshima survivors in Tokyo and said his grandfather decided to end the war as quickly as possible and that is why he decided to drop the atom bombs.
Just ask any of the surviving U.S. military personnel who were preparing for the invasion of Japan what they thought about the decision.
My opinion is that the decision saved probably millions of lives, both American and Japanese. perhaps, he should feel regret that it was necessary, but in no way should he apologize for it.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
