Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, not Mamet, was the architect behind the decision to bomb Pearl Harbor. His evaluation focused on a surprise attack to cripple the U.S. Pacific Fleet, enabling Japan to expand its influence in the Pacific without immediate American interference. Yamamoto weighed the risks of a counterattack against the potential gains of disabling American naval power. Ultimately, he believed that a decisive blow could secure Japan's strategic objectives in the region.

Admiral Leahy believed that using the atomic bomb was unnecessary and morally wrong because he felt the bombing of civilian populations, particularly in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was excessive and indiscriminate. He also argued that Japan was already on the brink of surrender, making the use of the bomb unnecessary to achieve victory.

The decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki did work to have the Japanese surrender without appeasment.
President Truman took the decision alone but the Canadians scientists help with the research.
