The Joint Chiefs of Staff never formally studied the decision and never made an official recommendation to the President. Brief informal discussions may have occurred, but no record even of these exists. There is no record whatsoever of the usual extensive staff work and evaluation of alternative options by the Joint Chiefs, nor did the Chiefs ever claim to be involved.

So that means that second guessing later wasn't based on any serious study. Thanks.

But we have Okinawa's 240K killed to testify what an invasion of Japan might've like. No study needed there.
