Japan attacked military targets though. Still horrible and brutal the way we did it... dropping nukes on thousand of civilians to send a message is pretty savage. I get both sides of this controversy. I lean more toward the necessary evil opinion of it and that it likely prevented many more war casualties in the long run. Also, it let other countries know if you come at us, you're going to pay. So, likely prevented future attacks against us, as well as ushered in the era of mutually assured destruction where nuclear powers do not go to war with each other.
