It was war. The fighting out there in the Pacific was nearly sub-human. The Japanese treated us like rats, and we treated them the same.
I could see how in the fog of the war, especially on that bloody island, how men could be buried in a large group during the battle, and the people who were responsible for it all get killed, and the grave is lost.

When I see one of those Marines or Soldiers from those campaigns, I make sure I say a humble and heartfelt thank you to them.
