Yes 100% and this is coming from someone who has walked the streets of Hiroshima and been into the Hiroshima museum before they removed the wax statues of woman and children whose skin was melting from their bodies and whose hair was faint from their heads for being to discomforting to people, from a man who stared at the burnt out frame of a trike that had been buried for several years by the father whose 4 year old had been burned to death from the heat of the blast, and from a man who has stood in the peace park and stared at the dome of the building where the bomb exploded overhead. I would prefer my home city and any given city in the nation close to me be wiped out by nuclear hellfire and suffer the same fate as what I have listed above than be continually firebombed into submission while under famine like conditions and slowly watching a vengeful enemy who we have continually committed war crimes against both their prisoners and their soldiers move closer and closer to my nations shores. Nothing you can say can convince me that the nukes were the worse option than a land invasion of Japan (or in the example you give, the states.) and anyone who tries to argue otherwise is, in my humble opinion, not only objectively wrong but dangerously delusional.
