Yes - the Commander and Chief made a choice we live with today. The fact is it did exactly what Truman wanted it to do, end the war quickly.

As a nation we adhere to the maxim, put forward in the film Patton, that the object is not to die for one's country, it's to make the other poor son of a bitch die for his.
