Freeman Dyson - World War Two
World War Two, Second World War, W.W.II
|
At the beginning of the war, I was a follower Ghandi, morally opposed to all violence. After year of war I retreated and said, "Unfortunately it seems bombing is necessary to win the war, but I am morally opposed to bombing cities indiscriminately." |
FREEMAN DYSON:|
When I arrived at Bomber Command and discovered we were bombing cities indiscriminately, I said "This is morally justified as it's helping win the war." |
|
A year later I said, "Our bombing is not helping win the war, but at least I'm helping save the lives of bomber crews." In the last spring of the war I had no excuses and had no moral position left. |
