All worthy battles, all required stunning courage and selflessness but Iwo was unique in its grim efficiency as a death trap. It was the only battle in which our casualties almost matched those of the Japanese holding Iwo.

So you're saying my father and an uncle (9th Marines) didn't fight with the same amount of bravery on Guam or Bougainville as those who fought on Iwo Jima?
Sorry, with rare exception, I believe all American servicemen fought with equal valor.
