Last night, one navy or marine pilot said that in the officers club on Iwo Jima a large bra was framed above the bar with a notice below it stating, “Remember Pearl Heffelman”....(last name not correct)..laughed out loud at that one!
Burns has done a decent job of showing we sent human beings off to
fight the war...they were not a band of always-hyper-moral bullet-proof
John Waynes.
And for that I do tip the hat to Burns. He does seem to follow my
take on what “heroes” are: fallible humans that do/endure things
almost beyond belief.
Even when they have “feet of clay”.
