Lost Evidence: "Peleliu" 5 of 5

US could have bypass those silan garrison and deal with them later.You see Japanese navy and airforce had been almost totally annihilated..They could move their troops anywhere.The sea and the air solely owned by USA.They could go straight to Japan main Island

It's too bad you can't smell rotting corpses on the Internet - that would quell all the right-wing armchair warriors in the audience. Anyone who has read "With the Old Breed" will know that this was not heroism - it was slaughter on a massive scale that was beyond politics or objectives - it was pure hatred, one side for the other, both ways. For essentially, nothing.

That's the most stupid Japanese I've ever seen ... why didn't he throw back the damn hand grenade ... ?!!! ... he had nothing to loose really ... In any case, that's also one of the most stupid marines I've ever seen ... he deserved to have that hand grenade hurled back to him ... he was begging for it ...

@czj617, read the rest of your replies, WOW, you are one sick, brainwashed fuck. Really, just take a header off a bridge.

@czj617: Fuck yourself and fuck this propaganda bullshit. I thought all the inbred, gung ho, redneck fucks like yourself died off after Pappy Boyington's rotten corpse started pushing up dasies. Do the world a favor and go back to your trailer park and fuck your sister.

Ah yes, you're one of those people I hoped I wouldn't have to deal with on YouTube. Lovely rebuttal to my argument, you gave, take another look at it. If you want to have an acutal talk on the Pacific War, instead of ignorantly cursing me out, I'm ready to accept your apologies and listen.

That is very grusum

"The story is always written by the victors", too bad for those on the other side of the field, they always end up the as the wronged one.

Marines or not, they both helped out to win the battle. Though the Marines were immortalized in the Pacific Theater of operations, the Army made a name in the European Theater where they battled it out with the Nazis.

So its really not about what branch they came from, its about what they have done to help end the bloodiest war of all time. Peace!

it cant have been meaningless because would the japs want to hold onto it so badly and why whould they have such a large garrison if it was worthless. the airfeild could have seriously messed up the landings on the philippines and jepordized the entire war in the pacific.

You think that many Japanese mothers wanted their sons to go off and be killed in the war and have their teeth pulled out by American gold hunters? Nope. Few ask for war except generals, corporations and politicians. There were many barbaric Japanese officers and soldiers, but also some of like kind in the US military. Others on both sides just tried to stay alive.
