(Comment worth the read.....Individual comments..."My Uncle was one of the marine paratroopers at Iwo...about 4 hours after he landed he got machine gunned in both his legs, and told a Marine that said they were gonna help him ...that once they get the aid station on suribachi filled, they were gonna morter it, and they did, he layed there for 3 days and when my grandpa asked him, "How'd you go to the bathroom?" and he said, "Jerry, I already shit my pants before I hit the ground"...
