I have to face the reality of nuclear weapons just as much as you do.
Your preoccupation with the death of infants is not important militarily. Besides, I am immune to guilt trips about the death of the enemy. The point of a bombing campaign to kill civilians, women, children, and infants included. The point of war is to kill the enemy until one's needs are met.
You have military experience and you also wrote that the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima were the the right decision militarily. You also wrote that it was in the long run the right humanitarian decision.
So, are you arguing against me or not?
Even if the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the incorrect humanitarian decision, those concerns must be subordinate to the business of war.
