re: #105 buzzsawmonkey

I had someone tell me that the US was “racist” because we did not drop an atom bomb on Germany. The person was most confused when I explained that Germany had surrendered before the first successful A-bomb test, and that it is not customary to drop heavy weaponry on the enemy after a surrender.

I also pointed out that it was the second bomb that prompted Japan’s surrender.

Which is a good thing, because at that point we ran of the things and it would be a few months before we had any more.
