The goal was to end the war not destroy Japanese civilization and it's highly regarded Emporer Hirohito. It was feared that the destruction of the Emporer would cause the Japanese to fight with even more ferocity than it already was. This was probably true as when the Emporer decided to reluntantly accept the Allied terms of surrender in the Potsdam Declaration there was a coup staged by junior officers to stop the surrender and continue fighting.

As the war turned against the Japanese, Hirohito personally found the threat of defection of Japanese civilians disturbing . He was forced to resign from the House of Peers and his post at the Tokyo Imperial University, his books were banned and an attempt was made on his life.

As the war turned against the Japanese, Hirohito personally found the threat of defection of Japanese civilians disturbing because there was a risk that civilians would be surprised by generous . Native Japanese sympathizers would hand the Americans a powerful propaganda weapon to subvert the "fighting spirit" of Japan in radio broadcasts. Not until 1946 was the tremendous step made to alter the Emperor's title from "imperial sovereign" to "constitutional monarch".
