It’s a good thing. Skepticism won’t help anything, but it plays into the narrative of Trump as monster.

I have to comment that my father, who fought the Japanese through Burma & Malaysia (in The 14th under General Slim), showed no qualms regarding this action by the USA. Of the very few things he ever said regarding his war experiences, the vast number of allied lives the two bombs saved (including his) was something he repeated every time the Hiroshima horrors were shown. He hinted of seeing fanatical brutal Japanese soldiers in action, lost comrades, seen the Changi POW. The idea of having allied soldiers fight on and on to walls of the Emperors Palace must have been a nightmare for Churchill and Truman.

It's total bullshit, like everything that comes out of this administration.

@Axtremus said in Surpassing Dijkstra: I would venture to guess that anyone who has a Computer Science or Computer Engineering degree today knows Dijkstra’s name (though few will remember the algorithm itself). That would be me and you are correct on all counts. We used the book Structured Programming in some class or another; he was one of the co-authors.
