He weighs costs, bombing versus invasion, and the vast logistical task from China to the home islands, noting B 29s and A 26s, Iwo and Okinawa bases, and potential timelines. The piece contrasts bombing pressure with a ground invasion scenario and the need to maintain supply lines across vast distances.
Battle weary veteran divisions from Germany and Italy will receive rest both in Europe and at home. Transportation of men and equipment after the rest will span months, possibly six to seven. A new training period for different warfare and refreshed gear will require additional months, potentially nearing a year before readiness returns. Air attacks will intensify and a possible Soviet move south from Siberia is noted as a factor. Britain’s Burma campaign may end, and the Reds are expected to stay ready while the Jap emperor’s fate unfolds.
