5GJW:

I'm not interested in getting a big debate with you about your socio-political/war opinions. But fwiw, I was raised in the town that developed the explosive fuel (plutonium) for the first bombs following the Manhatten Project. I worked in the reactors with a Q (top secret) clearance for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and also the prime contractor of the US-AEC, in particular in the area of follow-up research on the effects of those blasts and radiation fallout which resulted from and test bombings, and of the long-range effects of Strontieum-90 and other radioactive elements. I had intimate access to the relative information.

Getting back to this discussion about blood guilt, while I agree that a GB might have reason to acknowledge blood-guilt for perpetuating an erroneous blood doctrine, even if he believed it at the time himself, he is IMO no more blood guilty than a general is in any army who fights for an erroneous cause--even if he happens to believe in it at the time. I did not say Hitler and his generals are not blood guilty. I asked COMF why American generals are not. And since you piped in, suffice it to say I disagree with your cop-out excusism for them in the matter.

What's more, I believe that people who follow them share some of the guilt. I don't happen to believe that the people who were involved in the dropping bombs on Japan are free of blood guilt. I also don't happen to care that you disagree, and I'm not going to argue or debate it with you. I'm getting really sick of all this snitty debating debating debating opinions.

You and I are on different tracts about a lot of things, so why don't we just leave it at that.
