There position was hopeless in the sense that they could not win, not in the sense that they all faced death Exactly. I agree. We could burn/kill them at will..or not at all. Nice to have you on side. "even if we had dozens, or a hundred Nagasaki or Hiroshima type bombs and we used them all it would not have wiped out the entire population of Japan." Whatever, Twofowler! I am sure we are merely concerned about the literal meaning of complete victory, eh! If one child is able to survive in a tunnel then we may not assert that the US had absolute control! (you, yourself, said repeatedlyn that the Japanese were helpless yet you still indulge in this sily game of ("you couldn't have killed all of them"...). "You vastly overrate the destructive ability that we had in 1945. We could have eventually destroyed all their major cities completly, but that would not have killed every single person in Japan. " No, I don't. We DID destroy all their major cities. It is not really about killing every every single crawling person for Christ's sake. After 9 months of bombing there were no targets left. These are the facts.
