There are twice as many people in the U.S.
medical records and research are more extensive and accessible.

We DO know how many Americans DID die in places like Iwo Jima, Saipan and Okinawa.
The Japanese would have fought even more tenacity to defend the home islands. They still had a six million man army in August 1945.
Between June 1944 and May 8, 1945 (V-E Day), the United States suffered 552,117 U.S. casualties in the European theater of operations. Of those, 104,812 were killed in action.
Do you feel the Japanese were inferior to the Germans in the will to fight and defend (and die, if necessary) to defend their homeland?

@beckyromero I think you should review the scholarship about this which was discussed on the 50th anniversary of the bombs being dropped.
NPR had an interesting show about it.

I've read plenty about the bomb. Truman made the right decision. And if it had been ready in time, FDR would have ordered it dropped on Germany (which was the point for the Manhattan Project in the beginning).
