The debate over America's use of nuclear weapons against the Japanese to end World War II has existed ever since the bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. President Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb was viewed as controversial, and it is still debated today. Based on your readings, do you support the military use of nuclear weapons or do you oppose it?

I support Truman's decision to drop the bombs

Explanation:

With the use of the atomic bombs in WWII, Truman faced the hardest decision has a president, to drop the bombs and risk the lives of millions of people, women and children included or continue the bloodshed of war. At the end of the day, he dropped the bombs and I think he made the right call. Japan was not preparing to back down to the US and allies, infact they were doing the oppsite. Truman weighed the options of ending the war quicker and saving lives He had to take into consideration the loss of American lives and the war continuing over an invasion of Japan. I think the ban of nuclear weapons since WWII was a good idea, and those weapons should remain banned but there is no guarantee that they will not be used. I agree with the use during WWII because Truman was "darned if he did and darned if he didnt" if he had withheld a war ending weapon then he would've been criticized for it and using it was morally questionable. In the end this is a matter of opinion.
