@GeneralDoug13 @Cu132Gen I trust that you will continue to make wise decisions and actions like you did all war! #2018CUAB

[Admiral C. Nimitz @Nimitz13]

@GeneralDoug13 Thank you, General. It has been a long and tiring journey but now we must move forward. Go help Japan rebuild and create new economic and social reforms! Let there finally be peace in our world! #2018CUAB

[Admiral C. Nimitz @Nimitz13]

It is truly incredible to look back at my fleet’s accomplishments throughout this world war. We sunk 214 Japanese Naval Vessels and destroyed about a third of all Japanese warships! #2018CUAB

[Admiral C. Nimitz @Nimitz13]

I am full of pride and excitement to announce that President Harry S. Truman has presented me with a Gold Star for my exceptional service as Commander in Chief! I can’t stop smiling! #2018CUAB

[Admiral C. Nimitz @Nimitz13]

To the U.S. Congress, American naval power for our future is incredibly important. I believe that these nuclear weapons brought a new significance to sea power. #2018CUAB

@DekeParsons @PaulTibbets13 As a naval officer myself, I completely understand the necessity to carry out orders with full commitment. I was questioning Paul's honor in killing thousands of civilians. Despite our differing opinions on the bombs use, let us celebrate this great American victory!! #2018CUAB

[Admiral C. Nimitz @Nimitz13]

@PaulTibbets13 Paul, my apologies for coming off aggressive. We will forever have disagreeing views on the importance of protecting civilians during war. However, it is behind us, and one thing is clear, victory is for the USA! #2018CUAB

[Admiral C. Nimitz @Nimitz13]

@PaulTibbets13 I'm sorry but how is my understanding of the military flawed. Look at all the accomplishments of my fleet during this war. I never said to disobey orders... I just questioned how you feel honored to be apart of the team that killed thousands of innocent civilians #2018CUAB

[Admiral C. Nimitz @Nimitz13]

Thankful this never ending and horrible war is officially over! My thoughts are with every American and Japanese family that was affected by this war. Thank you @PrezHTruman for all your support and trust in me. Proud to sign with you today! #2018CUAB

[Admiral C. Nimitz @Nimitz13]

We did big things today. Japan formally surrendered on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay while I signed for the United States. Victory is ours! #2018CUAB

[Admiral C. Nimitz @Nimitz13]

Thank you to the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Be proud of all that each of you accomplished. You are all strong, amazing soldiers. #2018CUAB

[Admiral C. Nimitz @Nimitz13]

@PaulTibbets13 I'm sorry to put words in your mouth. I just don't understand how you can be proud that your team carried out the mission successfully when the mission was to kill thousands of innocent civilians. I don't see the honor in being a part of that mission. #2018CUAB

[Admiral C. Nimitz @Nimitz13]

@DekeParsons It might have sped up the timeline, but it was an unnecessary loss of civilian life. We had them beaten... they didn't have enough food, they couldn't do anything. #2018CUAB

[Admiral C. Nimitz @Nimitz13]

I feel badly about the U.S. dropping the atomic bombs on Japan… we had beaten them already. #2018CUAB

[Admiral C. Nimitz @Nimitz13]

@DekeParsons "The Japanese had already sued for peace before the atomic age was announced to the world with the destruction of Hiroshima and before the Russian entry into war. The atomic bomb played no decisive part, from a purely military standpoint, in the defeat of Japan" #2018CUAB

[Admiral C. Nimitz @Nimitz13]

The Cease Fire order was sent today. However, we were well prepared for anything. A ring of our submarines are currently surrounding Japan. #2018CUAB

[Admiral C. Nimitz @Nimitz13]

@GeneralDoug13 I agree with you General, there is no justification for the use of this bomb on the Japanese civilians. These innocent civilians are not accountable for the military's violent fighting or refusal to surrender. #2018CUAB

[Admiral C. Nimitz @Nimitz13]

An atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima today. Extreme detrimental effects on the city and country. I am neither condemning nor supporting the use of the bomb, but my heart goes out to all the innocent civilians affected. #2018CUAB
