Truman was doing what was best for his people and also for the citizens of Japan. Even though the citizens of the United States understood that he was only trying to protect his people, he (Truman) also killed many honorable people in the process. He also stated that his decision to launch “little boy” on Hiroshima was entirely military. Many wonder why the United States didn't just drop a bomb in a wild place or far from humanity, to show the Japanese what they (the United States) could do without harming anyone. If that had happened, perhaps the Japanese might have changed their minds or even surrendered, without thousands of civilians losing their minds
