It would weaken the prestige of Japan’s military.
Explanation: trying top leaders publicly exposed and blamed militarism for the war’s atrocities, removed and punished the leadership, and helped delegitimize military authority in Japanese society and politics — making demilitarization and reforms (including the postwar purge of leaders and the new pacifist constitution) politically and socially easier.
