One of the things that impressed me about the movie was that it didn’t shy away from showing some of the brutality of the Japanese. The Japs were known for being brutal to wounded and surrendering Americans, and taking advantage of false surrenders to kill more Americans, and both of these were depicted in the film. No political correctness there.
First, been reading for years, this is my first post. Thanks.
I grew up in the Chattanooga TN area where Desmond Doss lived nearby for the last decades of his life. I remember seeing him in the annual Armed Forces Day parade. He is buried at the Chattanooga National Cemetery, where my mother and father are buried. When he passed he got full military honors, thought yall would enjoy a photo of it. We visit his grave annually at Christmas.
