Okinawa had a fair amount of that sort of thing, as well as massive civilian casualties.

Anyone decrying the use of the 2 A-bombs is merely displaying their ignorance of the history of the Pacific War. Those bombs saved millions of Japanese lives.

Yes. imagine Okinawa multiplied x1000.

Rampant civilian suicides, coupled with a J military whose military code included importing Korean sex slaves, using Okinawan civilians as human shields, and then shooting said civilians if they tried to surrender.

Marshall was so worried about how brutal the Japanese resistance would be in an invasion, that he considered using A-bombs as tactical weapons on beach defenses ahead of troop landings if the invasion of Kyushu ever went forward.

It would have been hell on earth. The atomic bomb was one of the most providential things ever invented.
