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.

Mostly because of the civilian casualties, the illness it brought and the devastation.

Admiral William D. Leahy believed the use of the atomic bomb on Japan was necessary primarily to bring a swift end to World War II and to avoid a costly invasion of the Japanese mainland, which could have resulted in substantial American and Japanese casualties. He viewed the bomb as a means to compel Japan's surrender without prolonging the conflict further. Additionally, Leahy felt that demonstrating the bomb's destructive power would serve as a deterrent against future aggression from other nations.
