@KimInLosAngeles I lived in Japan for 4 years, so I know the Japanese well. A major part of their psyche is to avoid humiliation at all costs in the pursuit of group harmony, so, to face what happened during WW2 would be the worst case scenario for them on a personal/national level. They see themselves (true, in today's sense) as peaceful, polite, accomodating modern citizens of the world, non-threatening and free. Facing the past is seen as unnecessary (and painful), they just can't do it :)

They weren't "marine medics"; they were navy hospital corpsmen. I know; I was one. And my dad fought in this battle. It must have changed him forever.
@MauiMedicineMan also this quote "Remember that a government big enough to give you all you need is also strong enough to take all you have! " is probably one of my favorite quotes ever!
@TheOnlineAce Many credit him with the quote but that would be incorrect. It was Gerald R. Ford. But, in the end, it doesn't matter WHO said it so much as the truth of it and that it even needed to be said!
I've been looking around to find a complete DVD box set of the military channels "WWII in Color," for my dads B-day but haven't found what I"m looking for.

Jesus every world war 2 vids always some youtube war ok lets make it Even AMERICANS ! shut up about winning the war you just lost 400.000 and killed about 250.000 axis in the war first all i hear is when the axis declared war against the us that was the turn of the war that was 1941 the turn of the war was in Stalingrad in 1943 2nd of febuary was the begining of the red march to berlin and communist forces had invaded korea so shut up americans
My Grandfather was at Iwo Gima, he told us about the horrible things he saw there. Watching that mini series 'The Pacific' was almost traumatizing for me because a lot of it matched his story exactly. I was always reminded of it whenever I saw him. He had shrapnel scars all over his neck.

@KimInLosAngeles I think you forget that in war there is no evil or good. American soldiers were as bad as nazis, everyone was as bad as nazis, they all commited crimes. America commited many war crimes during WWII, but most of them aren't known. Some of the crimes, like Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden, air raids on civilian population, The bombing by error of a Swiss town, Cincinatti massacre, Or a horrific thing, mutilating their parts as trophies. Everyone is evil.
You have no clue what you are talking about and you completely contradicted your point.
American soldiers were as bad as Nazis?!?!?!!? Seriously! I wasn't aware of gasing and concentration camps exterminating "CIVILIANS" by any American squads.
@tankdogg937 Yeah, they were, most of soldiers all arround the world were fucking assholes. You think they were the heroes of the battlefield? Saving people? Yeaahh, right. My god, what an asshole. They didn't make concentration camps, they directly killed. Oh but wait, Americans were angels!
@Blavits Of course, you see, you didn't understand what I'm talking about? I just tell you, i argued many things without knowing what the heck i was talking, but not anymore!
@HashJohnny1 Hey retard it's "It's" not "its" and you don't need to capitalize every fucking word. you're trying to act smart on you tube comments keep crying bub.
@spanish111japan Comparing America and other allies to Nazi Germany? You're so fucking stupid, what are 12? What crimes did America and the other allies do that was so bad to compare to Nazi Germany killing 12 million civilians and starting a war that costed the lives of over 55 million people?
my great grandfather died in this battle on march 19. 7 days away from the end of this battle thats why i am sighning up this next weekend now that i am eligible i wanted to say thanks to all those who served and died in the united states marines, army, navy, airforce, national guard and coast guard through all of our wars we will never except defeat and all ways hold are ground. great video thankyou.
@MrDavid0808 thats mature and a great come back you really are lower then the scum on the bottom of my boot. i shouldent even b talking to a punk like you
And I'm talking about evil as a nation. The japanese and German empires were evil as a whole, and the Americans helped stop their quest for domination.
Veterans who survived this battle came to visit my school today and told stories about themselves in iwo jima. It was sad, they seen horrific things and were scared but they did what they had to to survive and live to tell the stories now
The real moment of World War II that will never be forgotten is the Red Army soldier hoisting the Red Flag over the ruined Reichstag in Berlin...
Iwo Gima is nothing, only a pathetic Island in the pacific which the Japanese decided to put up a futile resistance on. Battles like Stalingrad and Kursk are where World War II was fought, and why it was won...
You American cowards never even invaded Japan, instead you dropped atomic bombs on two civilian cities killing 250,000 innocent people.
@wnxsilence Sorry but pretty sure D-day and the invasion of normandy will always stand as the most well remembered moment of WW2. Your internationalism is cute though.
@wnxsilence why are u trolling on a video about the brave not cowardly american soldiers on iwo jima....u should be thanking america that u european fags or wherever ur from arent speaking german ur a disgrace
@58ranier World War II was won in Asia and Europe by the Red Army... Who captured Berlin?
This is just pride mongering for ignorant Americans, you cowards never even invaded Japan. Instead, as I mentioned... you dropped two atomic bombs on civilian cities inside Japan killing over 250,000 innocent people...mostly women and children, at a point when the war was already over and Japan was ready for a negotiated surrender. It was an inexcusable atrocity which will endure in history with infamy.
@58ranier Even in East Asia, it was the Soviet Army which defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army in Manchuria, Northern China, and Korea...The Kwantung was the best and the largest army the Japanese ever fielded, and it was the Red Army in mainland Asia which destroyed it.
It is indisputable that Red Army forces contributed the most to the common victory of the allies in World War II
The battle of Stalingrad alone, a decisive victory for the Red Army, was the largest battle in the whole war.
Not true, the Koreans were not executed and many surrendered during and after battle.
The fortifications on Iwo were far weaker than normal due to the use of the volcanic ash. There was not enough concrete, most being sent to Okinawa and Formosa, so they added the ash. The lack of reinforcing steel (rebar) is a large factor to the overall weakness of the fortifications. Naval bombardment never worked well and was used more for on call fires. con't...
There were not "hundreds" of "soldiers" that jumped on grenades. First they were Marines, not soldiers, and secondly, there were only 27 cases of Marines purposely taking a grenade blast to save friends. Of the 27, three men survived and one, Jack Lucas smothered two and lived.
@DaCube83 Yea it'll all come back but I hope you don't have nukes in mind we already have simulated programs to show exactly what would happen so if we see one on radar most people will survive and once it's safe to go out side we'll just start all over again on building and growing crops.
@amazingmazie Oh I see... thnx for the clarif and sorry about that. I was just wondering why it wasn't a team effort.
Many countries, including my country, owe their freedom from WWII to the Americans. General Mc Arthur said that he shall return and he did returned to liberate our country from Japanese rule. Thnx to the brave and courageous Americans!
@amazingmazie America wasn't the only one fighting Japan. China and Australia had their armies against the Japanese, while guerrilla forces in the Philippines also resisted Japanese control. China was involved against Japan long before America entered the scene, although America did support Japan, notably the Flying Tigers air force. While America was the only major power fighting Japan, it wasn't the only one with a reason to. Japanese expansion called for the conquer of many countries.
@nestor1195 Yes, but I didn't mention it earlier because it wasn't a major enemy of Japan. It wasn't at war with Japan long enough. In fact, before Russia declared war on Japan, American supply ships in the Pacific flew the Soviet flag, and not one was attacked.
@amazingmazie Sorry but incorrect. The "allies" with us in the Pacific included Australia, New Zealand, China, Great Britian, Canada, the Phillipines and some smaller countries. They supplied everything from troops to aircraft carrier battle groups.
@themangix357 They weren't the only ones. The Pacific Theater "allies" included Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, China and some smaller countries. Almost all provided support from troops to aircraft carrier battle groups.
@themangix357 Well listening to amazingmazie will get you no where.
The war against Japan was fought by a group of countries (allies), that included: Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, India, Russia and some smaller countries as well. The US took most of the burden due to the attack on PH and the fact that most others were fighting in Europe.
WHAT the hell.japanese soldier don wan surender.the spirit of love nation and kill in action is better than been capture and been die with out food in pow.i respect the spirit of japanese soldier eventhought their in axis.
First, the gentleman narrating this video incorrectly described Marine medical people as a "Marine Medic". Medic is the term used by the Army. In the Marines they are called Corpman. Plus the Corpmen are technically attached to the Navy although they went through Marine boot camp.
Also, several clips in this video depict many large trees that were stripped of leaves by the Navy bombardment. Iwo Jima had no trees or any other kind of vegetation.
@JamesA46 Corpsmen are attached to Marine units and are expected to do the same thing as their unit, but Navy Corpsmen do not go through Marine bootcamp.
@logoRH You idiot Korea was not a defeat or a win. The UN objective was not to win the war there but to help prevent south Korea from falling into communism. It was a ceasefire between the communist north and the UN forces. The war is still going not just a ceasefire. Get your facts straight.
@logoRH What do you base this opinion regarding nukes not being aimed at Japan on, and where do you get the bases for the US "loss" in WW2?
US dropped 3 $bilion bomb out of 2 $bilion plane while Japanese did not have enough rice to go around.
Just on the subject of "running away" from Nam: Communists showed up 2 years after US withdrew. S. Vietnamese made concious decision not to defend themselves. No ammount of support will win a conflict for one who does not have the will to win.
@joseagosto1 I totally agree with u. If the US not use nuclear bomb on Japan, the war will continue until the landing of Allies in Japan, which will cause more casualties to Japan and also the Allies army. And most importantly, the Japanese army outside Japan will continue killing people in most part Asia if US not drop the bomb at Nagasaki and Hiroshima cause most of the Japanese still dreaming of the imperialisme.
Those Japanese soldiers on Iwo Jima were heroes, and fuck you if you disagree. They fought with bravery, they fought for their country. There were no women and children on the island, no anything except brave American vs brave Japanese. I salute you brave Japanese warriors. Any fellow Americans who disagrees can shove it.

Manchuria and Northern China, the location of a large bulk of the Japanese army within Asia were liberated with the help of the Red Army.
The Red Army defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army, arguably the most powerful land army the Japanese ever fielded.

The real moment of World War II that will never be forgotten is the Red Army soldier hoisting the Red Flag over the ruined Reichstag in Berlin...
Iwo Gima is nothing, only a pathetic Island in the pacific which the Japanese decided to put up a futile resistance on. Battles like Stalingrad and Kursk are where World War II was fought, and why it was won...
You American cowards never even invaded Japan, instead you dropped atomic bombs on two civilian cities killing 250,000 innocent people.

@58ranier World War II was won in Asia and Europe by the Red Army... Who captured Berlin?
This is just pride mongering for ignorant Americans, you cowards never even invaded Japan. Instead, as I mentioned... you dropped two atomic bombs on civilian cities inside Japan killing over 250,000 innocent people...mostly women and children, at a point when the war was already over and Japan was ready for a negotiated surrender. It was an inexcusable atrocity which will endure in history with infamy.
wnxsilence 11 months ago
@58ranier Even in East Asia, it was the Soviet Army which defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army in Manchuria, Northern China, and Korea...The Kwantung was the best and the largest army the Japanese ever fielded, and it was the Red Army in mainland Asia which destroyed it.
It is indisputable that Red Army forces contributed the most to the common victory of the allies in World War II
The battle of Stalingrad alone, a decisive victory for the Red Army, was the largest battle in the whole war.

Facts not covered:
"Almost one third of all the marines killed in WWII were lost on Iwo Jima alone." states the Iwo Jima survivors association.
The tunnels in Iwo Jima were built by Korean slaves who were executed after the digging.
The walls in the tunnels used volcanic ashes mixed with concrete to make them impenetrable to the bombings and shells at that time.
Hundreds of American soldiers jumped on grenades to save their friends. There were no hiding places except for the bombed craters
magic2magic 1 year ago
@magic2magic Amendments to "facts"
True
Not true, the Koreans were not executed and many surrendered during and after battle.
The fortifications on Iwo were far weaker than normal due to the use of the volcanic ash. There was not enough concrete, most being sent to Okinawa and Formosa, so they added the ash. The lack of reinforcing steel (rebar) is a large factor to the overall weakness of the fortifications. Naval bombardment never worked well and was used more for on call fires. con't...
Toddinfantry 11 months ago
@magic2magic con't...
There were not "hundreds" of "soldiers" that jumped on grenades. First they were Marines, not soldiers, and secondly, there were only 27 cases of Marines purposely taking a grenade blast to save friends. Of the 27, three men survived and one, Jack Lucas smothered two and lived.
Just keeping it straight.

themangix357 1 year ago
@amazingmazie America wasn't the only one fighting Japan. China and Australia had their armies against the Japanese, while guerrilla forces in the Philippines also resisted Japanese control. China was involved against Japan long before America entered the scene, although America did support Japan, notably the Flying Tigers air force. While America was the only major power fighting Japan, it wasn't the only one with a reason to. Japanese expansion called for the conquer of many countries.

@nestor1195 Yes, but I didn't mention it earlier because it wasn't a major enemy of Japan. It wasn't at war with Japan long enough. In fact, before Russia declared war on Japan, American supply ships in the Pacific flew the Soviet flag, and not one was attacked.

@themangix357 Well listening to amazingmazie will get you no where.
The war against Japan was fought by a group of countries (allies), that included: Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, India, Russia and some smaller countries as well. The US took most of the burden due to the attack on PH and the fact that most others were fighting in Europe.
Just keeping it straight.

First, the gentleman narrating this video incorrectly described Marine medical people as a "Marine Medic". Medic is the term used by the Army. In the Marines they are called Corpman. Plus the Corpmen are technically attached to the Navy although they went through Marine boot camp.
Also, several clips in this video depict many large trees that were stripped of leaves by the Navy bombardment. Iwo Jima had no trees or any other kind of vegetation.

@logoRH You idiot Korea was not a defeat or a win. The UN objective was not to win the war there but to help prevent south Korea from falling into communism. It was a ceasefire between the communist north and the UN forces. The war is still going not just a ceasefire. Get your facts straight.

@logoRH What do you base this opinion regarding nukes not being aimed at Japan on, and where do you get the bases for the US "loss" in WW2?
US dropped 3 $bilion bomb out of 2 $bilion plane while Japanese did not have enough rice to go around.
Just on the subject of "running away" from Nam: Communists showed up 2 years after US withdrew. S. Vietnamese made concious decision not to defend themselves. No ammount of support will win a conflict for one who does not have the will to win.

@joseagosto1 I totally agree with u. If the US not use nuclear bomb on Japan, the war will continue until the landing of Allies in Japan, which will cause more casualties to Japan and also the Allies army. And most importantly, the Japanese army outside Japan will continue killing people in most part Asia if US not drop the bomb at Nagasaki and Hiroshima cause most of the Japanese still dreaming of the imperialisme.

Those Japanese soldiers on Iwo Jima were heroes, and fuck you if you disagree. They fought with bravery, they fought for their country. There were no women and children on the island, no anything except brave American vs brave Japanese. I salute you brave Japanese warriors. Any fellow Americans who disagrees can shove it.
