TOBA, Japan - There is the soaring rhetoric. And then there's the messy reality.

(FILES) This file photo taken in 1945 shows the devastated city of Hiroshima in days after the first atomic bomb was dropped by a US Air Force B-29 on August 6, 1945. US President Barack Obama is set to become the first sitting US president to visit one of the bomb sites when he journeys on May 27, 2016 with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to Hiroshima, hallowed ground to Japanese but, for more than 70 years, a no-go zone for 11 of his Oval Office predecessors.
