A surprisingly large number of Filipino troops stayed in the fight until the capitulation of Japan, not just until the liberation of the Philippines.
Again, the Filipino government should pull out its checkbook and pay its gratitude to its soldiers who assisted the Americans in saving their island.
If the Filipinos came to California and saved the US from the Germans and then continued on to Berlin. the US would owe them a nice pension.
I am still confused on why we have are paying them? THEY were occupied by the Japanese, we were allies and liberated them, I know, my two best friends are from the Phillipines...I am just curious why we owe them money?
Have I lost my mind?
