After the
Bomb
|
||||
| Home | Truman claims that he
didn’t have regrets and didn’t hesitate to drop the bombs. In
retrospect, it would seem it was necessary to drop the bombs when the U.S. did because
it has been reported that 6
days after the first bombing, the Japanese had successfully tested one of
their own a-bombs in Korea. Also, many allied commanders believed that if the
bombings didn’t take place when they did, hundreds of thousands of
Americans and Japanese would have died because of a necessary land invasion to end the
war.
