178. A Bombs
The masochistic self-hatred of country exhibited by Pilgrim is an example of why Liberalism is held in such low esteem by many in this country.

When you lack the will and gumption to hate an enemy like the Japanese and apologize for defeating them you deserve such low repute.

I suggest those here read "Downfall" by Franks for a good telling of how the war ended. Also read "Thank God for The Atomic Bomb" by Paul Fussel, an egghead prof at Penn who was an infantryman who'd fought the Germans and who was slated to go fight the Japanese when the war ended. He is convinced he was a dead man and that the Bomb saved his life.

Muddle knows what he's talking about, if you're interested in historical facts that is. If you're interested in screwball theories and self-hatred then no.
