[QUOTE="Panzerkamfwagen, post: 61668434, member: 376848"] What about extrapolating that warrior ethos to the troops in the Home Islands? [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Iwo_Jima]a 1% surrender rate at Iwo Jima[/url]. Or look at Okinawa. The Japanese Army killed civilians and civilians committed suicide. Some Japanese soldiers were so fanatical that they didn't surrender [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_holdout#1980s]for decades[/url] Would the war criminals have been punished if Japan had not unconditionally surrendered? That was my line of thinking. What would have been the fate of the occupied Chinese territory? And would have resulted in how many deaths from starvation and disease? [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%ABj%C5%8D_Incident]It was closer than you might think[/url] the Japanese military launched a coup attempt prior to the surrender and after a couple of atomic bombings. The Japanese were making bamboo spears to resist the allied invasion. [/QUOTE]
