Thanks for straightening me out! Just because they were there in actual combat what do they know? My father in law was Island hopping in The Marines and he SAW Prison camps were we held Japanese prisoners. I'll take their word over yours.

My Dad fought in China-Burma-India. He had first hand experience, too. His best friend was killed on Tarawa.
Another of Dad’s buddies lost all the fingers on his right hand to the Japs in a POW/labor camp. They took an ax to his fingers because he cut the wood wrong.

I merely said there weren’t many prisoners to take, which was true.

Simply shooting them and using flame throwers, hand grenades and bull dozers solved the prisoner problem.
