Incinerating women and kids is never justified

If the war continued, Japan was invaded, and women were coming at our soldiers with guns, swords, or spears, and children were coming at our tanks with bombs strapped to their chests ... what do you feel would have been an appropriate response by our troops?

I ask this question of you very seriously, as there is little doubt that it would have happened. One of the weapons carried by our troops was the flame-thrower. A soldier armed with this heavy weapon would not be carrying another. Would morality require that such a soldier permit himself to be killed rather than using it?
