They estimated a minimum 800,000 dead, and a total of 1.5-2 Million casulties by US forces alone, plus another million casulties by other allied forces.

The Japanese casulties would of crippled Japan forever.

10-15 Million dead, and another 10 million wounded on top of the dead.

The Atomic bombs seemed like a slap on the wrist compared to the absolute slaughter of Operation Downfall.

The Reichwehr ≠ The Wehrmacht

The Mujahideen ≠ The Taliban

The Taliban was formed AFTER the Mujahideen dissolved, exactly 0 US support went to the Taliban because at the time the US was sending support IT DIDN'T FUCKING EXIST.

Again you will also find that very few Mujahideen fighters joined the Taliban, most Taliban fighters were new recruits who were not part of the Mujahideen, where as the Northern Alliance the majority of its fighters were Ex-Mujahdeen.
