Truman's Ideal
Next Truman didn’t have another good alternative option to efficiently end the ongoing war. Countless members like Secretary of War Henry Stimson, also didn’t’ approve of the idea of using the nuclear weapon, however couldn’t find an alternative solution. The dangerous nuclear weapons “stopped the fire raids, and the strangling blockade; it ended the ghastly specter of a clash of great land armies” (Henry Stimson, Document 3). Again others argue that this is a crime against God and humanity. However, like mentioned earlier from the source of ethics the utilitarian approach back up our country’s decision. I agree using this destructive weapon to end a dispute isn’t ideal, but to an extent Truman had to lookout for our country.
