This past winter I spent about a half hour talking with Theodore "Dutch" Vankirk, the last living member of the Enola Gay crew. While speaking with him a reporter asked how he felt about dropping the bomb. He replied very quickly that he knew very well, if they did not carry out their mission, thousands upon thousands of foot soldiers could die.
