Probably as bad or maybe even worse than the big bombs of Japan's defeat was the torching of Tokyo where somewhere around an estimated 100 thousand were sent to the great wok in the sky as proper stir fry fixins.
People argue the morality of the bombings and burning as retaliation for the Pearl harbor attack never thinking that they deserved what they got as punishment for crimes against humanity in China.
If you don't clean out the rats nest they just keep on breeding more rats.
