My thanks to Dr. Tenny for his service to our country.
I loved the Great Raid movie...can't say the same about much else out of Hollywood.
The Great Raid movie was indeed a well done film, in my opinion.
The scene where the Battalion Commander is workin' over the Japs in a stream with his Springfield is absolutely wonderful!
Semper Fi,
My father too served as an air corps pilot in the Pacific. He said the atrocities committed by the Japanese were incomparable to that of the German soldier in Europe.
In the battle for Iwo Jima there were American soldiers that were captured in tunnels that honeycombed the island.
They were tortured and then killed.
Seems like all the "nice guys" were nowhere to be found.
