[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3142241, member: 7900"] If I'm "hilarious," then you could be illogical. As Donner pointed out, the civilians wouldn't have been in uniform. Would our soldiers have willingly fired upon such an enemy as women civilians? How many of those civilians would have been at the beaches, waiting for our troops, and with their mentality of dying for the emperor, they could very well have charged into the fray. They could have also been waiting at every house corner and doorway or window to strike out at soldiers as they passed by. The link below to Wikipedia states that there were 28,000,000 men and women classified as "combat capable." Note also in the article that the "volunteer" status was changed when the government began conscription of both men and women.
