I guess some on the CURRENT LEFT would have preferred to see MILLIONS of American military killed in a land assault on Japan.

That was actually the choice Truman had to make.

And you can tell the left that some estimates go as high as ten million Japs would have died, seeing as how the civilians were training with pitch forks, ready to die to protect their homeland.

I think the “millions” of American’s killed is high too. But probably for the killed and injured (”casualties”) that is a reasonable number.
