You can be as "sickened" as you want. It's your right, and if you want to call President Truman, Curtis LeMay and a slew of other U.S. leaders of that era "sickening" that too is your right to think that.
After you conclude your genuflecting, you may want to Thank them as well. I doubt you will though.
(Lightbulb!) Come to think of it, I have a right to an opinion, too, and my opinion of your logic is that your myopic ideology, cloaked in moral indignation, is what is sickening.
Thank Truman for what? The war was ending either way. He didn't save a single American serviceman's life. He could have waited, could have accepted the Japanese offer of conditional surrender.
You're a saying the opinion of Eisenhower, the soldier, is sickening, yet Truman the politician had it right?
