Like I previously said, I'll only respond to one thing here, since I felt that the comment below was the only thing that dignified a response.

So was the fact that the men that died at Pearl Harbor were military make their deaths any less horrifying than those that died in Japan?
To me, yes it does. Those people in Pearl Harbor were military and knew what they were getting themselves into. By being in the military service you know that you can die "for your country" at any given second and you've accepted that. The people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were civilians and were not aware of anything of the sort.
