My dad was a Bataan Death March survivor - 4 years in a POW slave labor camp in Japan. I am only here because of the bomb. I once flew over Tinian and saw the runway where the Enola Gay took off. The plane was full of Japanese tourists visiting Saipan. I still let out a Hell Yeah!!!

Today’s revisionist pukes can go hump a hill. Retards.

Man, the Bataan march and labor camp was hell on earth. So many things about WWII, like Bataan, the murderous amphibious landings, Normandy, the sailors eaten by sharks, the attrition/deaths of the air war over Germany, etc, just makes me want to bite nails into when I see the NFL/NBA/MLB national anthem kneelers.

So much sacrifice has been poured out for us AND them. There is no excuse for them to be so blissfully ignorant about what has been done for them. I know they have walked a different path that I do not understand, but you want to talk about being offended . . . by God I am offended to the bottom of my soul when they kneel. Thousands upon thousands laid down their lives for the freedom of expression they enjoy. How does one kneel when you think about the magnitude of sacrifice that has gone before them??????????!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn’t think about it, but my Dad’s carrier group was in the task force that helped liberate the Phillipines with McArthur. So, in a way, my Dad helped come to your Dad’s rescue.

So sorry that he had to endure that evil.

In addition to the B-29 runways Tinian also featured the largest military hospital ever built.

This was constructed for the huge number of casualties expected when we invaded Japan’s Home Islands.
