How Is Truman's Decision To Drop The Bomb A Moral Or Ethical Decision

After watching the video “Truman and the Bomb, I would say that I do not agree with Truman’s decision to drop the bomb. My opinion is based on my belief that dropping the bomb was not a moral or ethical decision to make. To think from a moral standpoint, it is never right to endanger the lives of others. Thousands of people lost their lives once the bomb was thrown and there were many who had long-lasting effects. I think that there is always another way to handle things. However, when making a decision like this one has to think from a military standpoint. Truman’s decision to drop the bomb was based on the idea that it would make Japan surrender. Truman’s decision to drop the bomb was also based on him trying to save as many American lives
