Wrong.

The Japanese civilians were told they'd be crucial in defending their homeland. The Japanese government basically brainwashed them, telling them to fight the Allied soldiers with whatever they had. Japanese people during that period were the opposite of European people. European citizens didn't want to be involved when the war came to them. The Japanese citizens almost wanted the Americans to land on the soil of Japan, just so they could have a chance to kill one themselves. The U.S. would've had to kill hundreds of thousands of civilians, most likely millions, to 'conquer' Honshu, the main island of Japan.

This is a rather well documented fact.

If you don't know anything about World War II, don't try to argue with someone who does.
