Truman was magnanimous. He insisted that thoughtful, astute gentleman, General Marshall, should get the full credit. Truman, despite what some people said about the president being a "country bumpkin," was well-read, a knowledgeable historian in his own right, well aware of ancient history continuing on up to the present time. He wanted General Marshal to obtain top position for truthful documentation. However, Truman's worst plan was his alone. And that was to nuke and burn alive the Japanese population to win victory through a genocidal holocaust, through select Air Force pilots who would only destroy industrial weaponry. He knew better than that. At that time scientists were worried that the radio-active mushroom cloud explosions would set off nitrogen around Earth on fire! Truman ignored the concern of the many. He also wanted to justify the enormous expense of inventing nuclear bombs, and testing them on human beings. No one politician or president should ever have one finger "on the red-hot button." This is sheer insane madness!–one person alone to decide the fate of Earth, its people and the World's animals. He committed this war crime against a sovereign nation by deciding all by himself without consulting Congress to nuke and burn alive Japanese citizens under the euphemism of "collateral damage."
