That completely misses the point of TOBW's post.

He was talking about the boastful aggressive language used to describe an act of extreme violence. The alternative to that type of infantile, macho language is not denial.

I also understood him to be talking about the massive conventional bomb used in Afghanistan last year - not the Hiroshima nuclear bomb.
