If you got much more than "following a crash development program, two atomic bombs were dropped on historically and culturally significant Japanese cities after the Japanese had been virtually defeated," you had a very unusual history textbook and instructor.

No, it wasnt much into details. But it did cover the us dropping a-bombs. and etc. What we used as a textbook was that greenish cover US history book.

I come from an era in which history books had red, white, and blue covers and had the founding documents printed on the endpapers.

We spent a lot of time on the endpapers.

Most "Social Studies" classes involved "World Cultures" ... you didn't get exposed to American History until your Junior year. American History ended at the Civil War.

Right on Wolf, I was a junior last year and had US history class.

There are many in education who, if the technology were available, cause American history books to drip actual blood. Be nice if the R,W & B ones were more in fashion.

i think the world has done well so far not to use nukes in wars since then. its like if boxers were going at it then one of the decides to kick the other in the balls a couple of times, saw the effect it had and decided "maybe this sport can do without that". even "terrorists" would think that using nukes is like a kick in the nuts. a slap in the back of the head isnt fair either but its a little more tollerable

The countries (so far) having the capability have also had too much to lose.
