Yes, and Truman gave proper reasoning for doing so. He said he did what he needed to do to protect the American people, his job as commander in chief. If he did not drop the bombs, millions more Americans would likely have died in a ground invasion of mainland Japan, therefore he would not be protecting the American people to the best of his ability. He probably also saved millions of Japanese lives too in dropping the bombs because Japan had a history of being war criminals at that point and countless civilians could have been killed, let alone many soldiers in the ensuing fighting. Could the US have won with a ground invasion? Likely. But why risk millions of American lives when there's an alternative that risks only those in the planes carrying the bombs?
