My uncle, dad’s oldest brother was a marine in the Pacific. On Okinawa, he was pinned under a jeep with broken hips and broken legs, and a Japanese patrol bay, and added him through his throat while he lay there trapped.
He lived amazingly enough. Hated the Japanese for the rest of his life.
Pretty sure he would’ve agreed with your dad.
That should have read “bayoneted him”. Damn autocorrect
My dad was combat infantry in WWII and Korea. He hated all Asians with a passion until the day he died.
I had my front tooth knocked out with a baseball bat when I was 12. My dentist, a Hawaiian born of Japanese descent, had to put in temporary tooth about every 6 months as my face would change as I grew and the temp would fall out.
My mom always took me to my appointments, but dad got frustrated and decided to take me. When the dentist came out my dad stood up and said “ a G’damn g@@k! No wonder his tooth won’t stay in! I used to shoot you SOB’s in the war! We left and never went back.
