Harry Truman didn’t give Japan a warning shot, even though some of his advisors wanted him to.

Harry did give them a warning shot.

They didn't listen.

Really? We fire bombed the schiff out of them.

In fact we killed more japs with fire bombing than with nucs.

Hey, but not saying they did not have it coming.

Truman and his advisors concluded that only bombing a city would make an adequate impression. Any advance warning to evacuate a city would endanger the bomber crews; the Japanese would be forewarned and attempt to shoot them down.

That said; a warning WAS issued AFTER Hirosima…
