While its true there are those who would disrespect his grave because of the nature of the weapon he dropped,there are many who feel the atomic raids actually prevented the loss of even more lives by stopping the need for an invasion of Japan.

A brave man who stood by the courage of his convictions,R.I.P. Col Tibbetts,you have bourne the weight of a burden few can begin to contemplate.

It is easy to condem a man’s actions were he believes he is doing the right thing,but how many would take his place to do the same?

Hear Hear.

Was it not Winston Churchill that said “You don’t have to be nice in war, just right…’? (or something along those lines)

It’s a shame that a man who by following orders saved the lives of so much more people by ending the war early has effectively been denied a grave by those who might protest about nuclear weapons. Had it not been for the atomic bomb, these protesters might not have had that liberty to protest.

Prehaps Winston hit the nail on the head….
