> Instead, they are taught that it was necessary to end the war.
That is not what we are taught.
What we are taught is that it was a terrible evil that was judged to be the better option of two evils. This is still potentially not true, and in hindsight with knowledge that the Japanese were not nearly as stubborn as we thought they were, it looks terrible. But these are luxuries afforded to people with the Internet and decades of time to analyze the situation that President Truman did not have.
Only idiots in America think that it was necessary to end the war. Quit knocking down strawmen.
