They threw thousands and thousands of Filipinos into poverty by kicking us out.
So yes, I say SCREW ‘EM.
As an aside: When in the Navy my dad dived in Subic Bay. He pulled up silver coins that said “Philippines” and “United States of America” on them. They were really cool.
He said they got dumped just as the japs were moving in, in an attempt to deny them the silver.
Sadly, a family member stole and sold them to support his drug habit.
good story! thanks!
Subic bay had some great diving off grande. shame about the coins.
