As would have been the Japanese casualties as well.

In the context of war the only compassionate acts of war are ones that end the war as quickly and efficiently as possible IMO.

True enough, but I have had the privelege of knowing several vets who were the receipients of Japanese hospatility during WWII. So, in that context, Japanese casulties were not a concern of mine.
