I definitely don't think terrorism is more justified if it saves your own peers' lives.

The narrative that it saved Japanese lives is based on wrong premises (they'd never surrender, etc.), but tries to build a persuasive argument that it was for their own good.

I can't understand why you think "the american military saved their own lives by killing foreign civlians" is at all a more persuasive justification.
