Japan Suffered Terribly From The Atomic Bomb But Never Adopted A Pose Of Moral Superiority, Implying: 'we Would Never Have Done It!' The Japanese Know Perfectly Well They Would Have Used It Had They Had It. They Accept The Idea That War Is War; They Give No Quarter And Accept None. Total War, They Recognize, Knows No Queensberry Rules. If You Develop A Devastating New Weapon During A Total War, You Use It; You Do Not Put It Into The War Museum.
