read any of the history books about the front line army and marines that had been island hopping. NONE OF THEM wanted to attack mainland japan. they had already experienced the suicide attacks and the determined mindset that they would never surrender. if you had to choose which theater of war was more humane, it really would be equal. the germans and the concentration camps, the japanese and the deplorable way they treated POW's. IMHO both deserved to be nuked. the only reason germany wasnt was because of the allies rapid advance from the west and the east in april of '45.
