You have to look at the time frame and accept the differences in society during the different times.
In the 1940s during WWII the nuclear bomb was nothing more than a bigger bomb. We were already employing carpet bombing and fire bombing; We were destroying entire cities and their populations by sending out hundred of the planes. Tens of thousands died in single attacks.
This was considered acceptable then.
Since the end of WWII, weapons of mass destruction are no longer acceptable in any form, be it nukes or chemical weapons. This is why they have never been used since then.
