The militarists intended to fight until the last Jap died.

second A-bomb was dropped.

Yes. The Japs were defeated militarily. No, many did not want to stop
because of this. Think of the Black Knight in the Monty Python movie.

The Japs were crazy fanatic bastards. They did not think as you or I would.

Allies whose armies were a bit chewed up from the previous fighting in
the pacific and Europe. There would have been a million dead, at least.
Okinowa taught us just how crazy the Jap bastards were.
