tejek, re:Casualties totaled more than 38,000 Americans wounded and 12,000 killed or missing, more than 107,000 Japanese and Okinawan conscripts killed, and perhaps 100,000 Okinawan civilians who perished in the battle So even using 138,000 from your numbers suggests that a mainland invasion would have been even higher than the numbers killed by the bombs. If anything you prove the case for dropping the bombs as all the resultant deaths were enemy and not American.
