I’ve seen some of these. However, I’d like to hear from the Marines who were scheduled to hit the beaches.


I sat across the aisle from a guy who was on a troop ship ready to hit the Japanese mainland and face certain death.

He just sat at his desk every Aug 6th and cried knowing there were Americans who thought the bombing was wrong and he should have died.

It’s easy to be generous when your butt isn’t on the line.

If you want to know what's really going on, ask the grunts.
