Coincidentally, I recently finished reading “With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa” by EB Sledge.

His recounting of his experience at Okinawa is almost beyond belief. This book and “Helmet for My Pillow” were the basis for the “Pacific” series.

Thanks!!

#20. Our “millenials” today, for the most part, could never have qualified for the military in WW2. What a sad state of affairs that our liberal mental faggots can never measure up to their grandfathers, uncles, and neighbors.

I particularly recall his account of digging into the rotting, maggot-infested corpse of a Japanese soldier.

Whenever I think my job’s bad, I contemplate that.
