Answer:

Truman stated that his decision to drop the bomb was purely military. A Normandy-type amphibious 8 landing would have cost an estimated million casualties. Truman believed that the bombs saved Japanese lives as well. Prolonging the war was not an option for the President.

Hope this helped :)
