"The Decision to Drop the Atomic Bomb" Response

By showing this movie on the atomic bomb in 1955, I think that people were able to learn the history of the bomb as well the affects that it still has on Hiroshima. NBC was smart in airing this video, I think it is important for the American people to see what happened in our history, and see the changes we have made from that day. The last remarks of the video pointed out the changes that we have made in our country on nuclear weapons. Hiroshima is a perfect example of a place that is still suffering from what happened years ago. In addition, it points out how an even that occurred in history, can still be an on going problem today. In relation to the memory of WWII I found it interesting that the video had veterans, and survivors of the bomb talking, and how today they still believe in what they fought for, or what they believed in from the war.
