that no matter what they were going to drop it.

So even if there wasn't a hole in the clouds, was a hole in the clouds, wasn't a hole in the clouds, they had decided to drop the nuclear weapons against direct orders.

That basically is, yeah.

So different people write different things.

How many were on the plane?

There's about 10 people on these planes.

Not all of them were...

You know, some of them are some ways away from where the action is happening.

There's the bombardier who says that he saw a hole in the clouds.

There's the pilot who says something, but everyone has their own different perspective.

And some of the perspectives are just totally, this is something that I guess I'd always been told by my history teachers, but never really appreciated until I'd done this 360 view of history that people can describe the same events and just, they have flat key inconsistent memories of each other.

Nobody who was on the plane said that they faked the hole in the cloud story.

But some people who were on the plane said they were determined to drop the bomb no matter what.

And they were highly incentivized to do this because if they had not done it, they'd have probably, as it was, they only barely made it back to their emergency landing spot in Okinawa.

They would have definitely ended up

in the drink, and certainly the bomb would have ended up in the drink had they not done it.

So I don't know.

I mean, I'm not a professional historian, and maybe there'll be difference of opinions, but it's clear there was something highly sus about at least 50% of all the nuclear weapons dropped in combat.

Yeah, there's nuclear insubordination in both directions.

That's right.
