Do you think the Japanese thought the pilots of the planes that dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were brave? By that time Japan had been bombed many times. I doubt that civilians would be thinking of those particular pilots. The war ended soon after, and there was very little animosity toward the Americans, only relief that the war was over. Military on both sides generally respected brave actions of their adversary (but not where atrocities were involved). Paul Tibbets, the Hiroshima pilot, died just recently. He never claimed to be a hero.
