I call BS. I've been watching historical youtube videos about the bombing of England and Germany in WWII. People were living in bomb shelters, loading out bodies in trucks and making due. Actually morale was pretty high in a lot of cases. The firestorm in Hamburg was an exception because that city was torched. Watching WWII and pondering other times in the past makes me see what a bunch of spoiled whiners we've become.
The people you’re talking about were at war with another country. The people in this country are near war with their own government. Totally different. A lot of it is just talk, of course, but people are really getting fed up.
And as an aside, the Germans kept fighting for 2 more years after Hamburg was firebombed. The Allies gave most German cities the same treatment over the next 2 years.
