My late father in law was a island hopping Marine in WW2. He rarely talked about it. One night he came for a visit and I had bought him a bottle of his favorite scotch. (I cant remember the brand name) He started in with story after story and I sat there riveted and kept my mouth shut. He smoked his pipe and sipped his Scotch and told of the time his Marine unit killed the Jap POWs when they brought them out in the yard for exercise. He looked at me and said "We took no prisoners!" He said the Japs were absolutely brutal ans so were the Marines.
