Except the Allies also debated whether strategic bombing worked. So yes, you're defining hindsight bias.

As for "the generals", of course they blamed Hitler for any mistakes. What are they going to do, blame themselves? Lol.

It was the first war to allow for mass destruction via air power - hindsight 20/20 on what was a "bad" idea and what was a "good" idea.

Japan doesn't have the capability to attack USSR through Iran. It's "better" in a tabletop sim kind of way.

The real problem is that the Japanese Army was no match for the Soviet Army.

You can't separate Japanese culture and society from the way they treated conquered peoples.

Would you rather end on "not bad", or good though?
