Homer's posts have brought home to me that through most of the war we were either outnumbered or at least evenly matched. I'm thinking Guadalcanal, the Solomons, New Guinea and Normandy before the Breakout.

The Japanese will spend their army in the Philippines, but it won't feel like it because they will continue to fight to the death.

Our guys were indeed tough bastards.

What the heck, they already spent their navy and air forces. :-)

According to the story on page 9, “terrific rains brought ground fighting to a standstill in the Ormoc corridor.” I guess they didn’t get the memo on Kilay Ridge.
