Well, luckily the president did in fact reach the decision of aiding South Vietnam ...

The United States realized that the Japanese wouldn't surrender easily. They would fight to the very end. The loss of American lives would be too great to afford, thus being compelled to use the bomb. Also, the development of the atomic bomb cost 2,000,000 dollars. This was too large of a financial investment to waste in not using the bomb for reasonable causes. Lastly, many Americans also held bitter resentment against the Japanese fo ...
