One of the first divisions to land on Kyushu was only projected to fight for three days. It was assumed after that they’d be all but destroyed.
I wish the libs would read up on their history, especially when they start braying about 4000 men and women killed (not all by combat) in Iraq and Afghanistan. Look at the numbers for 82 days of fighting in Okinawa, or for the first 60 days after D-Day.
Nah, they’ll never get it.
