So it's August 6, 1945. Tsutomu Yamaguchi is on a business trip to Hiroshima. He suffers serious burns after the city gets nuked. Spends a day there getting treated, and returns home to Nagasaki right before Nagasaki is nuked.

Now at age 93, Tsutomu Yamaguchi has been listed by the Japanese government as the only known person to survive both nuclear bombings.

He's either incredibly lucky, or incredibly unlucky. All he suffered were burns. No cancer or anything.

He can easily be in a non-combat role in the USAF, far away from any real fighting. Plus, just because your a soldier doesn't mean you have to be a gung-ho G.I. Joe tongue.gif

For Marines on the otherhand, it's a requirement ninja.gif
