It would be fun to see pictures of the one million American and ten million Japanese casualties projected during the invasion of Japan, as well.
That was in the 1940s. According to wikipedia, population of Asia in 1950 was 1402 million. Now China would have been the highest during that time too and other countries Would have had a good number too. So even by wild guess that 10 million you said would have been almost 10-15% of the whole goddamn population of Japan!!! Seems like men in those days were crazy to spill the blood of so many.
