How long do you think it would have taken for them to surrender? 10, 15, 20, 25 years? They would starve to death before surrendering. On most islands we fought them on, when it was apparent that their fight was lost, the last of the men gathered for one last suicide bonsai charge. I doubt the United States could have maintained a blockade half a world away for that long.
