Except killing a lot of Japanese civilians, including a huge number of Koreans residing in those two cities.
Firebombings of several Japanese cities were well enough to total-break down Japan's military system, ironically aimed at both military and
civilian targets. I don't care if the two nukes were justified or not, both were overkill.
When I was in high school in Canada, I was shocked to hear no history teachers ever educate their students about the firebombings seriously. And my sister learned this very well in her high school in South Korea.
