        If the American population would have sustained the war. That is not a given. War could have lasted until '50.

        you folks criticizing Truman r unreal. Take into context the entire war - Pearl Harbor & the pacific. It was the right decision

        remember that one atomic bomb didn't get Japan to surrender. And the generals tried a coup to stop the surrender

        My father would have been one of those doing napalm runs and getting shot at - or worse, captured. Harry was right.

        comments here disregard the years Americans spent in WWII. You had to live through it to know or have parents who did.

        Truman's numbers for Pearl Harbor KIA are wrong.
