Hmmm. I didnt know that. Interesting.
But the guy who dropped Fat Man must have known what he was doing, right? So I can applaud one of them, right?
But my argument wasnt really based on the soldier, but I do want to apologize (again) for the comment I made about him not being a good soldier. that was an extremely stupid thing to say, I guess I just got carried away.
