Yet Gen Tibbets feels a "sense of Shame for the whole Human race for accepting bloodshed as a means of settling disputes."

Further, "Only a fool speaks of human warfare. There is no such thing as General Sherman and other competent witnesses have testified. It has the smell of hypocrisy when self proclaimed humanitarians draw a distinction between an acceptable and an intolerable brand of human crulety...."

He's a good man. But the burden of snuffing out 79,000 lives in an instant... mind boggling.
