One of my great-uncles fought at Iwo Jima. He spent a grand total of about six or seven hours in combat before a Jap grenade shredded up his leg pretty good. He said he spent the rest of the war chasing nurses in Guam and Hawaii. Walked with a limp for the rest of his life, though.

That resistance and American lives cost made the nuke decision academic. As a kid I remember reading a story about a Marine that used is own weapon at Iwo, think it was a Thompson iirc..
