That spirit is still alive today in many places. We shake our head at the appeasers and the pro-defeat crowd. But let's not forget our warriors overseas, and all the pro-victory, pro-freedom people everywhere. And that includes our allies, whether they're Muslim, Christian, or Jew, or whatever.
Thank you, an amazing and fascinating story, one that bears repeating. It amazes me, too, still. It's refreshing in this era of appeasers and pro-defeatists to hear of courage and be reminded that some still posess these qualities.
Agreed. One thinks of our Filipino allies in WW II, who were particularly brutalized by the Japanese---even worse than our "Death March" troops.
