it is a more concentrated kill area, so technically, it should mean less deaths. I mean in a war, whoever dies in a war is a coin toss. while with the atomic bomb, it gets a direct kill

Even though something horrible happened, a lot can be learned from it. You can learn the flaws in your defenses and make them better. It can also bring about new opportunities. You can also be thankful because you survived and made it through and it helps everyone to be prepared next time.

I don't believe that there is an reason to be thankful for big bombs like that because not everyone you take out deserved it. It may have stopped the treat, but was it really worth it?
