  I also agree with bamboohat. Or rather, with the goal of keeping the Soviets out of Japan combined with the estimated casualties for Operation Downfall I believe it was a 2 birds with 1 stone decision. Some have argued that the decision had a racist component, and while I agree…

  "nandakandamanda, what Korea does with their military is none of Japan's business. Such a cool and civilized people of Japan can keep their cool shirt on."

  "I saw him on the news this morning, addressing the crowd in Japanese. Very cute. ;-)"

  The first time I ever saw Christian Bale in a movie (Empire of the Sun 1987), he was speaking Japanese. If you've never seen this film it's absolutely worth renting. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092965/
