ever read “We Band of Angels” about the US nurses on Bataan taken POW?? Worth the read for additional on the ground opinions of mcarthur’s blunders:

Citing the review of a book written 58 years after the fact about a group of nurses, most of whom were already dead as evidence of your belief is not credible.
