Unless the troops were drafted into service, and I believe most troops in WWII were drafted. To be honest, and I know this is incongruous with what a lot of people believe today, but you have to pull out all the stops to win a war. You do what must be done to win a war. If we had to drop some atomic bombs on Japan to force them to surrender, then I think it was necessary. It was unfortunate, to say the least, but it was necessary.
