  1. A veteran (Korea,Vietnam,..Afghan) friend of mine told me once, we (USA) would never win in any of the actions outside of our turf. Because no one can defeat a “volunteer” military, and worse if it’s on their turf. It’s like a street fight, no matter how many times or how hard you hit the opponent. The fighting is going to be decided by whoever is dragged down to the last breath or whoever can last. He said like in ww2, Japan was defeated mostly by China, because China had lasted so long to the point of depleting Japanese military of oil and materials for bullets and other equipments. After 8 years, the Chinese military started to gain momentum. Actually began to defeat Japanese with fewer personnel, equipments and bullets. And when nazi lost, everyone turned to the pacific theater. Japan knew what a disaster it would be for the empire, if Russians landed in Japan. So they gave up on the excuse of atomic bomb.

  2. @chinkens and gardening, 4,000,000 military and 20,000,000 civilian death was the toll on China. Almost 100% was under the nationalist flag, mao was way out there in the northwest caves. Don’t think Japanese ever even sent a plane to bomb them. Or was there a “front”, because how insignificant they were territorially. They rested up, gathered up, prepped up, and once Japan gave up, Russia rounded up weapons and equipments for the communist. After eight years of war, nationalist was weary, as communist was restored and ready. It didn’t take long to chase nationalist to Taiwan. That’s what my friends told me. I thought mao and chiang were shoulder to shoulder till they pointed out where mao was on a map. Well,…

  3. @chinkens and gardening, Forgot to include; us gave nationalist old ww1 equipments (as with Ukraine) which was no match to Japanese’ up to date weapons (zeros and such). I was told after the first year of fighting, China had no airplanes left. And no tanks, no mechanized equipments,… mostly rifles against machine guns, yet they still managed to continue, out lasted and dragged down Japan at the same time. China was like Europe, many different dialects, to the point of not understanding each other at all. Military? More like a hodgepodge of men, and worse, many neighbors held grudges, historically based. It wasn’t until well into the war and finally, an army.
