Agreed and I don't really blame him. There's a good two-part series I recently downloaded on the Apple TV called "Hiroshima" that features a number of interviews from people involved in the atomic bombing from different perspectives including Tibbets, van Kirk, several Japanese survivors, etc. It was done by BBC - highly recommended for anyone interested in the event that changed the world forever more - perhaps even more than ww2 itself did...
