Wellllllllllll,

Bing that Japan was 80% reliant on US oil, there are those who would argue that actually, FRD’s oil embargo on Japan was the first act of war.

"War is hell...too bad the Japanese started one with us."

And sometimes you have to take the war to the people in order to break their will to fight. I know a lot of people dislike William T. Sherman, but he was right in the fact that once you take the war to the people, you destroy their will to continue fighting. It sounds cruel and inhumane, but it works, and in the end, it saves lives.
