Sure enough, that very night around 250 Japanese who had been overlooked, sneaked into the airfield and killed a bunch before they were finally all killed. Fortunately a lot of Marines violated orders and kept some rounds.
Lived in the South my whole life. When I was 12, I met this redneck kid. He showed me where a piece of metal had slide down the inside of the skin in his wrist and made a gnarly scar. And went on to tell me how he carried a gun with him most everywhere he went. I told him he needed a permit for it. He acted surprised. I told him it would cost him $50. He laughed and told me he don't need to pay no 50 dollars to carry a gun around.
Anyway. I've never been in the military, but I'm going to college next fall and I will be a good marine.
