So....

You've shown that all the American military and all the American statesmen were against using The Bomb. So how did it get dropped then? Did a couple of Army Air Force captains and lieutenants grab a couple of bombs and do it on their own? Did a sharp-tongued pipsqueak from Missouri overrule all of them- -right after he took office and in the face the opposition of the likes of General Eisenhower?

Was it part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy? In spite of the fact that The Bomb was developed under the most socialistic American government to that point in American history? In spite of the fact that Truman was the successor of that regime and a Democrat?

How did this happen?
