"WAR IS HELL", SAID A FAMOUS FIRE-BUG, AS COULD BE ATTESTED BY THOSE WHO DIED IN LONDON, BERLIN, NANJING, AND DRESDEN. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THOSE TWO BOMBS SAVED MORE LIVES THAN THEY TOOK. THE GI'S WHO FOUGHT THE JAPS HATED THEM WITH AN INTENSITY SELDOM SEEN. HALSEY'S REMARK THAT AFTER THE WAR JAPANESE WOULD ONLY BE SPOKEN IN HELL WAS NOT UNTYPICAL OF THE FEELING. THE ENTIRE JAPANESE NATION WAS BEING PSYCHED UP TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH. THE INVASION OF JAPAN WOULD HAVE BEEN A BLOODLETTING UNSEEN SINCE THE DAYS OF GENGHIS KHAN AND TAMERLANE. THE CASUALTIES ON BOTH SIDES WOULD HAVE BEEN HORRENDOUS. |
