    My mother was a US Army Captain, and an RN that served in hospitals is the Pacific. I would gladly share her pictures standing next to a variety of Japanese AAA guns if you have any interest in such photos. One of her patients was General Frank Merrill who gave her a signed book in appreciation for the care he received after his heart attack. That book has a prominent place in my library. How can I share the pictures if you want them?

      @@kevinrae1603 Yes. I know. My father was also a WWII veteran , a Korean war and Vietnam veteran that retired as a Colonel. I was also an officer. I went to boot cap at Ft. Knoxi '75, and airborne training at Ft. Benning - now Ft. Moore, GA. I was a JROTC cadet in HS, and ROTC in college. I found out my father was so well known that when I reported for training at Ft. Knox a Sgt thought I was him and made a reservation for me as a full Colonel at the BOQ when I was a mere ROTC cadet reporting for my summer basic officers course. Ft. Knox was a "closed fort" back then and I had to "sign in at the gate. The Sgt was an MP and saw "my" name on the roster. He called the BOQ from the main gate and told them "a VIP Colonel" was there. After summer basic, I checked into the Navy and they commissioned me as a College senior. I knew I could never serve in the shadow of a man that fought in 3 wars, had THREE Silver Stars, a Bronze Star with the "V" , a Purple Heart, and 4 rows of ribbons. So, I joined the Navy where no one knew my name. I still got a call , as a cadet, from the CO of the Armour school and a dinner invitation at the "O" club. I accepted that invitation.

    My Uncle Harry was a Corp Man out in the Mariana and Okinawa Campaign. He never really talked about. Miracle he served and went on to become an officer in United Coal Miners labor union.

    In the Marine's defense. Most of the Cattle the stole was hooked to stolen carts to much more efficiently haul ammo and supplies around the muddy island.

    McNair was also a three star general, killed in the opening of Cobra by friendly fire by army air corp bombers iirc.

    Is this is the same narrator who called Japanese atrocities in Nanking as exaggerated?

    Just a theory that i have that Americans foundness of taking war trophies. Comes with the intermingling and cultural exchange between americans and the native Americans. Scalpes were taken as trophies and maybe the idea transmuted into the more modern era.
