Answer and Explanation:

I don't think it was justified for the US to drop atomic bombs on civilians.

Their thought process was that if they were attack the innocent, then Japan would stop their aggression and call off the war. Only after the second atomic bomb occur did the Japanese surrender.

The civilians, whether they supported the war or not, shouldn't be killed, as they didn't do anything, are possibly manipulated, and are not the ones fighting. They were probably encouraged to support the war, and they also had forcibly given up their food to the soldiers to fight in the war. The Japanese kept on fighting because they didn't care how much of their people died as long as they will win the war.
