I would definitley argue against the "Terrorism is never justified" mentality. The fact that the britannians have moved "civilians" onto japanese territory shows the britannians are willing to use human shields in their lower classes to justify the moral high ground during the occupancy. If this is the case, does it not make sense to slaughter these "civilians" to show that you are not willing to submit to their occupation?
The civilians play just as, if not a larger role in the occupation of Japan by Britannian forces than the actual military. Going for "soft targets" is generally a way to reduce one's own losses while maximizing enemy losses. And this, is proven military dogma.
