Is it really gray when Nagasaki wasnt originally the target and the epicenter was schools, churches, and hospitals? That one at least seems pretty clear to me. They didnt even target military infrastructure.

it was primary a trade port, but at that point you are over enemy territory and its either drop it, or risk never getting another chance.

also economic targets are also valid if you are trying to end a war in my view. If they cant get resources, it both starves the people and the war machine. Its not preferred as military should be first picks, but war is about winning whatever your objective is, in this case, breaking the Japanese military spirit was the goal. And showing Russia we had the biggest bomb
