evening ring:
Blasphemy of the passing day On November 1, 2007, 92-year-old Paul Hibbetts, an American pilot who dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima from the Enola Gay bomber, left this world. He wrote no memoirs, but left some statements in history. "I am proud that I was able, starting from nothing, to plan an operation and execute it as flawlessly as I did." - If you put me in the same situation, then hell yeah, I'll do it again. "I decided that the morality of dropping this bomb is none of my business." I was assigned to carry out a military mission. I don't care if you drop atomic bombs, or 100 pound bombs, or shoot a rifle. You must leave aside the moral question. - We had feelings, but we had to push them to the background. We knew it would kill people left and right. - I sleep peacefully every night. Forty years before Tibbetts, his mother Enola Gay died. Does the name remind you of something? Yes, this is exactly what the sentimental son called the strategic bomber on the 29th, from which he brought death to 150 thousand Japanese citizens. Enola's parents were also sentimental, naming their daughter after the heroine of the 19th century adult novel Enola or Her Fatal Mistake. Neither mother nor Paul saw the tragedy of August 6, 1945 as a fatal mistake. Immortalized in history, the mother was proud all her life of the achievement of her son, who dropped a nuclear monster with a power of 13 kilotons on people's heads. Well, what a fatal mistake it would be if the bomb itself were smilingly called "Baby"? Mother and baby - Americans have made two symbols of life synonymous with death. Do you think anything has changed in America since then, and the current anoles, if a repeat occurs, will condemn their Tibetans?
