"I've had WWII vets share with me the unbelievably gruesome, at times, hard to listen to, treatment of the POW's by the Japanese."
Oh yes.
If you haven't already, you might want to consider reading this book. 60 posted on

I suggest Flags of Our Fathers, The Greatest Generation, and your suggestion, "Flyboys"
All three will give one a superb foundation in why Brokaw nailed it with his title of the Greatest Generation.

I have been listening to "War Stories II" by Oliver North the last week or so.
I have always considered myself an amatuer historian. Boy did I find out how amatuer I was.
Great listen....you should do it. Well done, documented and includes Oliver interviewing the real guys and letting their words speak for themselves.
