Two Japanese officers, Toshiaki Mukai and Tsuyoshi Noda competing to see who could kill (with a sword) one hundred people first. The bold headline reads, "'Incredible Record' (in the Contest To Cut Down 100 People—Mukai 106 – 105 Noda—Both 2nd Lieutenants Go Into Extra Innings".

I've heard it stated quite a few times that Japanese troops beheaded more people with samurai swords than we killed with both atomic bombs - that gets you thinking, doesn't it?
Anyone who questions the necessity to drop these bombs should study the battle of Okinawa - it was only a tiny preview of the horrors of a battle on mainland Japan. I could go on and on...vivisections, bayonet practice, cannabalism, starvation, torture...
Besides, I would consider all the money we spent rebuilding the country as “Payment in Full.”
