I thought it was a little weak on the "trauma" part so I suggested this instead:

[tup] 1.2. Honestly, I considered suggesting that moment but figured it was too slow. Someone with better tools than me made a shorter version of it, and I'd say it works better.

I'm good with 1.2; not really feeling the caption, though.

I'm not especially fond of my suggestion but it might be worth going captionless for now because 7 kind of undermines the impact of the strip and feels like we're downplaying the horror of WWII which feels.... wrong.

[up][up] I mean I see your point but...making fun of historical tragedies several decades from its occurance is par for the course of not just the internet, but society in general.

[up]And just to make it clear, my caption suggestion was less meant to downplay the impact of Pearl Harbor, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima, and more meant to show sympathy for them in a concise manner.

Letting the Caption crowner function handle this one; closing.
