Excerpt from Wikipedia:

"In all, there were 2.3 million Japanese Army troops prepared to defend the home islands, backed by a civilian militia of 28 million men and women. Casualty predictions varied widely, but were extremely high. The Vice Chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff, Vice Admiral Takijiro Onishi, predicted up to 20 million Japanese deaths."

I think the bombings were really the best case scenario given the circumstances.

It should also be mentioned that in preparation for the original ground invasion a lot (seriously, A LOT) of Purple Heart medals were made.

We still have yet to exhaust the supply of medals.
