I wonder if the guy who is an Okinawa and Iwo Jima vet is still around. Haven't heard from him in a while. He would sometimes post his reminiscences.

In 2011, one official of the prefectural government told David Hearst of The Guardian:
You have the Battle of Britain, in which your airmen protected the British people. We had the Battle of Okinawa, in which the exact opposite happened. The Japanese army not only starved the Okinawans but used them as human shields. That dark history is still present today - and Japan and the US should study it before they decide what to do with next.

That's the guy. He posted back in February around the Iwo Jima anniversary.
