Atomic Bomb
In chapter nine, Vonnegut references the atomic bomb and a letter sent out by Truman. The atomic bomb had a huge impact in the war. We won the war in Japan with the bomb. It was horrific as well. Thousands and thousands of people were killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We won the war in Japan, but it was the wrong kind of victory.

I couldn't help but think of that too, Erin. The war was won, good for us, but at the lose of so much life. I feel like everything in life has an upside and a downside. I guess that's life.
