Towards the end of WWII, President Truman is going to face a difficult decision:
* Japan refuses to surrender.
* Casualties among American soldiers rise with the use of kamikaze mission.
* Financial Cost of continuing war (Money)
He drops two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end the war as quickly as possible. Did he make the right decision? What would you have done in his position. The clip below gives some sense of the human costs of using this new war technology:
This survivor experience of Shigeko Sasamori provides more insight on how people experienced this attack firsthand.

I think that President Truman make the wrong decision to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Even thought the Japan was giving a warning and refuses it but still there would be other ways to end this war rather than killing everyone. Some people in those two towns/city was innocent that don't even want to be part of the war. Life are valuable to everyone, it jsut seems like Truman is being selfish and end this war at any cost which I believe that its not right.
