Why did the US military forces see the bombing of Nagasaki as necessary after they saw what happened in Hiroshima?

I am not quite sure how to phrase my question well... But why did the US military forces decide that the second bombing was necessary after they saw what happened when Hiroshima was bombed?

Thank you very much
