Ha! No, I'm slow. Band Of Brothers is really old. I watched it years ago, when it came out. It was released in the U.S. in 2001. Yeah, that's the story we were taught growing up. The horrible loss of life in an invasion. I dont know. I would think they could have exercised some patience. The Japanese leadership would have delayed surrender, but the remaining troops were inexperienced and with low morale. Also, the average citizen just wanted the war to end. Who knows? I feel like the bombs were a drastic, unnecessary choice.
