Hmm, but nothing is broken, that is, obviously destroyed. Broken window fallacy, applied to war, usually says that war (obvious destruction) itself is good for the economy because as buildings are smashed, people are hired to build new, better ones.

So – it was good to destroy those buildings. That’s the ‘broken window’ thing, the ‘it is good to destroy’.
