I'm not at liberty to say weather they deserved it or not since, well I wasn't around during WWII to know. Although the Japanese had a very distinct way of fighting, the "Bushido Code" made them relentless. From footage and documentaries released after the war, it really looked like the civilian population was ready and willing to use the tactics the Imperial army used in the pacific.
Just imagine how they fought on foreign soil, imagine how they would would fight on home territory! In the end the allies probably thought it would be too huge of a loss to actually invade Japans shores so they decided the bomb was better. How much info did the world have regarding the atomic bomb and its affect on a population? Would they really have known before hand the amount of destruction it would have casued?
I would hate to think what would have happened to a allied soldier captured in Japan had we invaded,
