Yes. We had to go for the city. Dont you get it? War isnt about honor or salvation, we did what we had to do. We broke their back and showed them that we would do whatever we had to to win that war. We showed them that the mighty U.S.A would not take any crap. We dropped one bomb, and the Japanese did not surrender because they did not think we had been able to produce more than one bomb.
So they asked us to drop another. They were that confident. And what did we do? Well, Harry gave them Hell.
People will say that it wasnt something to be proud of, but can you look at me and say that any act commited in a war is something to be proud of? We did what needed to be done, and what did it get us? Victory.
