” Go to any Island in the Pacific - Tarawa, Peleliu, Iwo, Saipan, Okinawa - and all of the kids who died on those miserable pieces of rock - tell them about expatriating. “
Peleliu.....my dad got shot up real badly there. He was lucky..... he was one of the few in his outfit who lived.
BUMP
The Pacific episodes on Peleliu are among the most intense TV ever
I had family that survived the Bataan Death March and the concentration camp. A Christian Japanese guard saved many lives in his camp and they remained friends until both passed away. He acquired a taste for garbanzo beans while in that hell hole... he never quit eating them. He said it was what the guard secretly supplied them with to keep them from starving. If anyone doubts that the Japanese could be rabid animals... well you already know. If anyone doubts the power of CHRIST... well they could have asked Pat about that. The chicoms might want to think about screwing with the Japanese... they have no PC restraints.
