OHR+Q+&+A

Were you surprised that the USA joined the War that was so far away? Yes, many people like myself were surprised that we joined the was, but if the Germans keep sinking our ships than I think it was good that we got involved to stop them from killing innocent lives?

Do you think that it was a good idea that the USA joined the war? In the long run yes because we stopped the holocaust, we were the reason Hitler killed himself, and we showed again that the USA is a powerhouse. It was also good because it got us out of debt.

What did your mom say when you said you wanted to join the military? She at first was really mad at me, but than after a while she softened up and realized that it was good for this country.

Why did you join the military? I joined the military because all of my friends did and I wanted to help this country, because it is the best country in the whole entire world.

Did you ever think that you would be sent over as fast as you were? I wouldn't say surprised just caught off guard because people who were there longer than me didn't get sent over when I did.

What was it like to be afraid of death? I wasn't in the real heavy action so there really wasn't a fear of death just worried about air strikes.

Did you ever hear anything about an Atomic bomb being dropped? No not a thing, we heard that the Germans had a really strong powerful weapon in the making, but we that about all we knew.

When you heard that they dropped the 1st atomic bomb what was your reaction? I was shocked I didn't know that the USA had anything of that amount of power to be dropped and cause so much damage but it got it's job done.

What about the second atomic bomb, what was your reaction? I wasn't as surprised as the first one because they gave warnings to Japan that went unnoticed.
