Pride has nothing to do with it.

I am glad that Truman made the decision he did. That decision might have saved the life of my father in law and allowed the birth of my wife and my children.

That doesn't mean I'm proud of it, any more than I'm proud if I take the responsible action of putting to sleep a beloved dog, or disciplining a child who needs correction. It's not that I'm proud of those things; it's that I recognize the need to do them and am man enough to do them and not whine about how unfair it is that I had to do them.

IMO dropping the bomb was the right thing to do.
