The actions of the Japs on the people of the Pacific were horrific. Much like the Muslims of Islamic countries of today.

The US Army lost 55,000 fighting the Pacific war and conducted paratrooper drops, and over 100 amphibious assaults.

We treated the Japs like the animals they were.

We won in less than four years.

How long have we been letting good men get killed for no apparent purpose in Afghanistan?
