The excerpt from the movie we watched today was definitely arguing against the use of the atomic bomb by showing the immorality of the situation. It was showing the agony and despair that resulted in Japan from the dropping of the bombs. The thing that popped into my mind while watching the excerpt was that war is not moral, war is about defending your country and the people in your country. President Truman surely understood that tdropping the bombs was going to kill many civilians and was not a moral way of acting but he also understood that protecting his country and the men and women in his country were his most important job at that point.
