Undoubtedly there are more bombs to drop . . . and voters will have to decide which have inflicted the final death blow that leads to surrender . . . and victory
Here we are just one month from November 8, voting day in U.S.A., and major bombs are dropping on the electorate to influence voting and bring a merciful end to the political conflict. When will the bombs stop? A history lesson seems appropriate.
In each case, within a month of Victory in Europe Day (V-E Day, May 8, 1945) and the announced date of the Japanese surrender (August 15, 1945), the bombs didn't cease dropping. They kept on coming until the last moment. And perhaps recorded somewhere are the names of the last combatants killed before peace broke out.
In the Pacific theater the first atomic bomb named "Little Boy" destroyed Hiroshima on August 6th. On August 9th the second atomic bomb named "Fat Man" leveled Nagasaki. Japanese surrender followed just days later.
