My friend Seymour was captured at Bataan. He lived to see his grandchildren, yet was broken by what the Japanese did to him. He was liberated in Japan and was forced to work in a lead mine. Seymour was 70 pounds when he was liberated. He died five years ago.
His only comment to me was that the Japanese were ruthless and had no use for prisoners, other than to work them to death.

I understand that the ruthlessness displayed by the Japanese made our soldiers in the Pacific despise them--to the point where Jap prisoners were not to be taken. They said that the only good Jap was a dead Jap.

It took two atomic bombs to shock the Japanese into surrender. I wonder what it will take for the Islamofascists.
