 The destruction of Japan's armies has not yet reached the annual rate 5a normal replacements - between 10000 and 25O,0OO men year. .#4d the Jap, as our men in the Pa c.... know, fights to the death.
 As far as Japan is concerned, the o4ar Empire - and the men who q nd it - are eXpendables. The Jap will fight the Battle of Japan ffom the inside, the inner Empire, of which IwoJima was an outpost.
