@christopherlng753 Do ya really recon the Japs pissed off God??! What have we Aussies done recently that God would approve of? The Jap has recently copped a hammering again at Tohoku, but are we any better that we deserve any less? Were the floods even a mossie bite by comparison? Bugga me! Have some respect! The Japs were fierce veterans but attacking entrenched Aussie positions, terrible losses came to them... but not because they were hated by God! Yeah, thank God we won!

"It was thought that there were some 6000 troops against them, but we wouldn't have numbered more than 110."

That explains how awesome these guys were!!

@louishollis maybe it ws because he fought the fear of going commando on them? jk, no soldier deserved to die unless he chose the path with disgraceful actions like rape and execution

recruits vs. veterens... veterens lose.... the japanese must have done alot of things to piss god off to lose his favor

thank you Ralf Honer your cool head and expertise help guide inexperienced troops to control the uncontrolable. True heros stand up when the others run or hide, didnt see Comander Blamey even visit kokoda once
