Most of the men in WW 2 were drafted.
In that case I see no difference between a solder and a civilian. Truman's duty is to American boys who are dying in a war Japan started. He's wasn't the president of Japan
You also have to factor in with any negotiation Japan may of argued they still owned Korea, as they'd had since 1910
In the Battle of the Bulge children were drafted,they magically become disposable war machines.
- nihonde 10y agoTruman's duty was to humanity, not "American boys".
- ksou32 10y agoKeep in mind millions of people are dying in Asia due to Japanese occupation during this time. Shouldn't those lives count as well. Ether way Truman was president of AMERICA, not the greater good

This WWII vet[1] is of the opinion that even unarmed soldiers (AKA ejected pilots who no longer have access to arms) are not legitimate targets, let alone civilians. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8LVlYJ5eJU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8LVlYJ5eJU
