Hiroshima: The Lost Photographs
Hiroshima pictures should be seen, but they should be seen alongside pictures of Philipina nuns being were raped and thrown out of third story windows by Japanese soldiers. Pictures of "The Rape of Nanjing". Oh, and throw in a few pics of Unit 731. http://www.centurychina.com/wiihist/germwar/731rev.htm
It would be fun to see pictures of the one million American and ten million Japanese casualties projected during the invasion of Japan, as well.
"Their goal was to 'measure as precisely as possible the exact effects of the two bombs' in other words, to put calipers on the problem so that people back home would have a factual frame of reference within which to draw conclusions about the bomb’s capacities as well as its limitations
What was that for? To make a better bomb? Why don't we stop fighting and do something better? Heck, I'm gonna stop fighting with my neighbor about the cigar bits he throws out of his window. I could write 2 more lines of code by that time.
I remember a quote from the movie 'Troy' - Imagine a king who fights his own battles. Wouldn't that be a sight?
What if we send our leaders on a 1-on-1 battle instead of a million men. We could save a lotta blood.
I wonder if the person that threw them away didn't know what they were or knew what they were, but didn't comprehend the value of the photographs.
No thanks. You have to be sick to enjoy that.
