Atomic Bomb

            
             To drop a bomb on Japan would be immoral, create an uneasy relationship between America and Russia and possibly open up a new kind of deadly warfare.
             There are military advantages to detonating a bomb over Japan, such as the thousands of American lives that would be saved when soldiers did not have to participate in combat with Japanese. Nonetheless, soldiers are vigorously trained for combat for months and years. They go in to war prepared to die, understanding what they may encounter and ready to suffer the consequences. Why else would America have an army, a military, a navy? .
             America and Russia relations are questionable, but the personal relationship between President Truman and Stalin is not very strong. Stalin does not trust Truman. This affects Truman's personal feelings toward Stalin and Russia, possibly directing biased towards the use of the bomb on Japan. Truman may want to demonstrate power to Russia. Also, dropping an atomic bomb on Japan may create of an entire nation an eternal enemy.
             Truman should not base his decision on public pressures. The public does not know, nor may it care, about the Japanese citizens. To bring the soldiers home is all the American public wants, and it would subsequently be a decision based on human emotion; worry would become relief. .
             Atomic weapons and war itself is immoral. The damage caused by this weapon is unbelievable. Those Japanese and American soldiers and prisoners who are not vaporized by the explosion will suffer the long-term effects of radiation.".plutonium, known to lodge in human lungs and other internal soft tissue. diminishes so slowly that it will take twenty-four thousand years for half of its deadly alpha radiation to decay. Other radioactive isotopes left by an atomic bomb include strontium 90, a "bone-seeking" form of radioactivity remaining highly toxic for many decades, and cesium 137--which is assimilated by muscles.
