I'm a second generation Japanese-American born to a mother from Hiroshima, my grandparents lived through the war. I've been to the Hiroshima Peace Park and associated museum a couple times. Unlike the vast majority of people, I will say that I wasn't moved in any special way from the exhibits and memorials I saw there compared to other war memorials I have also visited. A weapon of mass destruction was used, many people died, a city was leveled. What happened isn't any different from what has been and can be seen from and during any other war or armed conflict. My takeaway still was and is that warfare and human tendency towards violence are the true root evils that must be extinguished to reduce human suffering, nuclear weapons are merely a symptom. No, I do not care if you are offended from reading this. I do not share the mainstream "nuclear bad" narrative. As far as I'm concerned, a person killed by nuclear weapon is just as tragic as a person killed by any other weapon of war. Wars are tragedy incarnate, be it World War 2 or any other war. Those who wage wars of aggression are committing crimes against humanity.
