This infuriates Americans who are conditioned to believe that not only one but both nukes were morally justified. They'll parrot the same arguments about a ground invasion that never would have happened because Japan was already willing to discuss surrender before the first bomb. Truman just wanted to rush things to a close before the Soviets gained any more ground in Manchuria and could demand a seat at the negotiating table.
