Johnny Rocket Launch Pad-libertarian Rock N' Roll Experience

Based on a suggestion by a listener and to highlight the recent anniversary of the atom bombs being dropped on Japan, we cover “Barefoot Gen” and also briefly contrast it with “Grave of the Fireflies”.  Demanding unconditional surrender and using the pretense of invasion as political maneuvering while showing the destructive capacity now wielded to brewing adversaries, an entire generation of innocent civilians are murdered in cold blood with the wrong answer to the philosophical trolley problem.  The movies both show the horror of war at home that is then amplified at the dawn of the nuclear age.
