Of course the military wasn’t worried much. After all, they had just finished the test at Trinity, near Alamogordo, New Mexico, a month before Hiroshima. (July in New Mexico, August in Japan, 1945.)
If they weren’t worried in July in the U.S., of course they wouldn’t worry about August in Japan. And what neighboring countries were they going to possibly theoretically accidentally hurt? China, Korea, Russia, I guess possibly some Pacific islands … all of which were considered far less important than the U.S. itself.
