I read a great book on this by a guy who was captured at Wake Island and survived the entire war. I can't remember the name of it, though. It correctly portrayed the Pacific conflict as a racist war. It did a fine job of differentiating between the four types of Allied POWs - American, British, Australian, and Dutch. Although the Ducth were the least respected among the different POWs, they had the highest survival rate. The Americans and Aussies were most similar. The Aussies far and away had the best sense of humor. The Americans were the only prisoners who were guilty of killing their own.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand your post; specifically the last line.
