Perhaps none. How many troops did we lose at Iwo Jima? Multiply that by all the other islands and the mainland controlled by Japan. That should give you a decent start.

I also know the speculation. What I don't know, and neither do you, is the question asked. I know that you christian conservative ex-military types are all for killing, and you don't think that talks can work. Too bad that's proven to be pure horse****. It's funny that when Reagan used diplomacy, it was a great and noble thing, if a democrat mentions it, it's horrible, stupid, and the only thing the enemy needs is a bomb shoved up their ass. |
