Monday August 6, 1945

World War II: Enola Gay, a B-29 Superfortress of the U.S. Army Air Force, dropped an atomic bomb named Little Boy on Hiroshima, Japan, killing an estimated 80,000 people instantly.

Bunker thinking, on one day of remembrance of burned Hiroshima and burned Nagasaki- recalling the time when the United States of America dropped atomic bombs on 2 cities of humans living in paper houses.
Not "collateral damage" or the metrics of war. Flesh and blood humans of all ages and all levels of innocence were sacrificed.

Collective punishment.

In my own daydream utopian world, every politician would be forced to see 'The Fog of War' and write an essay on it, and be required to talk about it, weekly, with small groups of randomly chosen citizens.
