Did Not giving Up at Pearl Harbor create More Japanese sailors and Soldiers?
Seems like a no-brainer to me that some Japanese enlisted because of the war and that whenever one of our bombs does collateral damage, the likelihood that a victim’s family member or neighbor will join an insurgency increases. That’s always going to happen, so except to a complete pacifist, it’s kind of beside the point. More to the point is if more people are taking up arms against you than you can kill or convince to put them down, and that’s almost the definition of whether or not your fighting successfully or not. On that basis your analogy is useless, because we were obviously successful in WWII and that’s much less obviously the case now.
