War was over

Alive and headed home.

The news reached us fast,

The enemy had surrended.

 

Sent home for a months rest,

Then be shipped to the south Pacific.

One war replaces another

How much can the human mind withstand.

 

Thankfully it never happened.

The enemy saw our might.

A few A bombs was all it took

And with it thousands of lives.

It's a good thing you didn't have to go there. The invasion of Japan would've been horrendous for both sides.

Still, we agonize like those members of the Manhattan project, one of whom was briefly my roommate for nine months, over those lives lost in Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
