But go ahead and believe we did it to look cool.
More likely we did it to scare Russia, Truman was in Europe at the time of the first bomb, they were negotiating with Stalin, obviously they were hoping for capitulation from the Japanese government to impress the Russians who were already secretely aware of US technological advance. Clearly that didn't work.

Truman was probably hand picked for the job, as his psychological profile made for a good 'button man'

Ps. don't be such a sheep.
