Understandable...

My Dad wasnt that extreme, but he had strong feelings, too.

BTW, I guess I could always google it, but I’m somewhat surprised to hear there were any survivors/pows from the battle of Wake Island.

As I understand it, several hundred were shipped around to endure the war as POW laborers....the 98 that remained to labor on Wake were mass murdered toward the end of the war.
