@thebigman15200 I have read Sledge's book and Burgin's and Sloan's and the 1st MarDiv battle history.

@TheCollinLEfty No, in fact both seem low. The Marines suffered 1598 KIA and just over 4700 wounded. The Japanese count will never be known in total since many died in deep jungles, many died at sea when transports were sunk etc. The number of 24,000 is in line with many sources that range from...

@HoldUrColours Actually....The invasion of Okinawa was April 1945 not Feb. This is the invasion of Iwo and not Okinawa. Study harder.

@dean0101 An actual German soldier there survived the war and said that Spiers was not shot at first because the Germans themselves did not believe that a man would do such a thing. Once he was returning they did fire on him some and I believe he did receive a superficial wound.

@SuperBigrodent With comments like this no wonder ppl have troubles with us. Your ignorance and arrogance are astounding. Just as a point of clarity....Britain was not losing the war and we did not come in and save the day. The Brits had beaten the Germans in the air and forestalled an invasion.

@RDOFCO1 Point of clarity....the Germans also had a coalition of different armies, Romania, Italy, Czech and a couple of others come to mind quickly. Nice try at revising history though, but guys like me won't let that fly very far.

@SMGJohn Shoulda, woulda, coulda..... you are one ignorant SOB. Maybe they should have not attacked Pearl Harbor and then we wouldn't have to hear your whiny mental dribble.

@berserker276 I have never heard of any books written by him, but he did become a big game show host. I just love the ppl that post about the Japanese like they were there to develop such hatred for things that they weren't even born yet to see. F..in Japs this and f...n Nips that....while they ...

@MrFattyfatfatboy Your numbers are wrong...way wrong and get over the "Jap dog" crap. You weren't there, you didn't suffer so you have no room to call them names. The Japanese soldier dug in and fought with skill and tenacity. Comments like yours show the greatest of ignorance.

@andersdesertfoxV The mortar was not shooting to kill a tank, it is used to strip the infantry support from the tank. A tank is more easily killed by infantry if there is no infantry supporting the tank. The Japanese realized this to and went to great efforts to strip American infantry from a ta...

@busterdog321 Ooorah....GUNS UP!!

@Mills117 All Airborne are trained for battlefield first aid

@jansenryan3 It is a 1903 Springfield.

@ezragotagun2 No he was not. Basilone was killed by machine gun fire and was hit three times, chest, left arm and groin.

Semper Fi !

@wyleehokie You only get one lash for forgetting LOL! Napalm was pretty effective, but the Japanese had built they fortifications to help withstand napalm and flamethrowers by compartmentalizing the interior. Marine close air support flying of the airfield didn't even have to raise wheels, most m...

@jabolyn Not only are you a disgrace to the Corps, you are a disgrace to yourself. If you don't have something good to say, say nothing. You sure are making yourself look like an ass. 3 yrs of mcmap...oooooh....wow! Bet you were a black belt too. You brag to much about nothing.

@cwood4ever Well, Semper Fi !. While the movies help, they do take certain liberties with the truth. Case in point....where does this bunker scene take place? Not on Peleliu. It is my mission to attempt to educate those that don't know or have learned incorrect information. I will always attemp...

@cheetah2k10 Incorrect. The only Allies in Berlin were the Russians. They were "allowed" the taking of Berlin as retribution for the war on their soil. Germany was cleared by both Russian and western Allies.

@tiVazouneTo2011 Nope, not mines. They are the round magazines for the on board machine guns.
