To what purpose was it mentioned that Carlson’s Raiders murdered Japanese prisoners in retribution for some of their dead at Guadalcanal?

Well, my impression that it was nothing in comparison with what the japs did to American prisoners. I gather that as the war wore on, our guys became more like the Japanese troops, because that was the only way to take them down. They were, after all, religious fanatics dying for a living god, the Emperor. Don’t waste lives trying to take them prisoners: just kill them
