Hiroshima Bomber Unrepentant till Death I'm making a partial exception to my self-imposed rule of not speaking ill of the dead. Paul Tibbets, the pilot who dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima, died Nov. 1, unrepentant till the very end. "I wanted to do everything that I could to subdue Japan. I wanted to kill the bastards. That was the attitude of the United States in those years," he told an interviewer in 1995. "I have been convinced that we saved more lives than we took. It would have been morally wrong if we'd have had that weapon and not used it and let a million more people die."

Hiroshima Bomber Unrepentant till Death

I'm making a partial exception to my self-imposed rule of not speaking ill of the dead.

Paul Tibbets, the pilot who dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima, died Nov. 1, unrepentant till the very end.

"I wanted to do everything that I could to subdue Japan. I wanted to kill the bastards. That was the attitude of the United States in those years," he told an interviewer in 1995. "I have been convinced that we saved more lives than we took. It would have been morally wrong if we'd have had that weapon and not used it and let a million more people die."
