Jap strategy all along has been to send U.S. casualties soaring until the Americans sicken of the war and call it off. I do not believe any method of any man could have lessened the cost.

They cost him a reputed $75,000 to produce, net him around $50,000 profit - and shut down the minute the house falls below 90% of capacity...
