An Army project but the Army may have used American Troops as gunea pigs and Harry Truman obviously didn't have a freaking clue. Who the hell was in charge?Scientists may have been making the day to day experimental decisions as the Trinity test approached, but it was still an Army project. I doubt the Truman administration knew enough to be concerned or not. By the Trinity test, Truman had been president only a few months and he had many other things on his mind. As you said, the Army didn't have a clue. It was all too new."Scientists were concerned"? Scientists were in charge since the Generals didn't have a clue. The problem was that the Truman administration wasn't concerned.
