Hi,
1) when the generals proposed dropping the Bomb on Korea; Truman's response was "You can't ask me to use those awful things again"
2) it was Goldwater who said he would use nukes in Vietnam.
3) the events leading up to the decision to drop; are worth looking at in detail... Which is all i really want to say on the subject.
