Im pretty fucking sure its not that hard to hit a military target with an atomic bomb, as long as the bomb lands within 5 miles of the target it will annihilate it, I mean, how strong can the wind be?
Hiroshima was a military target, and it isn't like Japan has all this vacant acreage with no population around their military bases.
