A statement that would be familiar to many G.Is during WW2 as to why they were in Europe instead of in the Pacific fighting Japanese Empire who actually attacked us.

My father in-law fought in Europe, I remember him telling me what the morale was like when shortly after Germany surrendered, the U.S. troops in theater were told to that they were going to be sent half-way around the world to get ready for the invasion of Japan.

I had an uncle that served in England(support unit)and another on the USS Idaho battleship in the Pacific.


The uncle in England had orders to go to the Pacific after a brief rest in America.

Thank God for the A Bomb.
