See this is where people start perdicting numbers, like someone told me that it would cost more than a Million american lives to take the japanese mainland because everyone there was willing to die for there country and ready to commit mass suicides attacks before they would surrender.

I don't like thinking though that the people we killed were non-combatants and if the US did invade the mainland, i'd think they'd only take down the people that would be fighting. So maybe an invasion of the mainland might be slightly cleaner on our conscience.

But the plus side of not invading is that we didn't lose hundreds or thousands of american lives it would take to attack the mainland. I can't perdict how many people would die but you can't doub that a certain number of soldiers would become casualties...
