Soil
We talked about today about the soil at Iwo Jima and Okinawa and I was wondering if the American higher ups did not know this information before going in or what. You think they would have planned better for this, especially the rain. I was just wondering if they didn't know about it or that they were on such short timetable that it didn't matter? Also, could they have planned better for it? One of the main things to know for battle is terrian and it seems they didn't look at it. So am I not understanding this or making to big of a deal over it?

In defense of the commanders on Iwo Jima there is only so much information that can be learned from photos and to my knowledge this was the only intelligence that Americans had about the island. However, I agree that invading Okinawa during the rain season was not the best idea and they should have known about that.
