Japanese veteran on US Marines and jungle fighting

My Uncle was a life long Marine Sargent.

And I will agree with that last statement.

Had an Uncle who lied about his age going to Parris Island and then he went to the Pacific. He was a different bird. He loved it, although he didnt talk it. Went on to Korea too. When Vietnam came, my Aunt told him "IF you come back, I won't be here". So, he didn't go to Vietnam, but he really wanted too. Back then, they didn't know about PTSD. He nearly killed my Aunt choking her in the bed, thinking she was a Japanese. She grapped the phone and hit him in the side of the head jarring him out of it. He went somewhere to get treatment for awhile. I remember seeing several .357s around the house in various drawers. When I asked him if they were loaded, he said "absolutely, an unloaded gun doesn't do you any good. But if I see you touch one, I'll tear your little a$$ up." That's all it took. I NEVER touched one his guns. He was a great man. He worked as a Sherriff, then sold hardware as a living. I miss that generation. They did and saw things I'm not so sure I would've wanted to go through or see. He loved the Marines and served 21 years. I grew believing if you weren't a Marine, you weren't fully American. He also joked, "the Marines landed in the Virgin Islands, and they had to change the name".

I always felt like I could excel in the marines and thought about joining. However I will not join to fight a pointless war. Now when shite hits the fan I will be in there to fight for baws like y’all.

Is this thing still in charge?

A friend of mine was Forward Artillery Observer at Iwo Jima.


Mr Stanwood Duval . Sr. Houma, Louisiana. That’s him with the binoculars at the foot of the airfield. He loved calling in fire from the battleships onto the Jap positions. He told me many stories and I don’t think he held back much. Brutal,brutal fighting. He made five landings in the Pacific.

Had an uncle who was a life long Marine who fought on every island that the Corp fought in the Pacific. Wounded on Guadacanal, he rehabbed & went back on active duty after being told he needed to go home, his wounds were that bad. Hated the Japanese till the day he died at age 87, to the extent he never bought anything made in Japan & wouldn't let any family member buy Japanese, either. Cousin told me that 15 years after the war & he finally retired from the Corp, they went to a family friend's house for a family bar bq. His dad walked into the den, saw a Japanese TV, grabbed a lamp & threw it through the tv screen.They left & as far as he knew, never went back.

Well, that's why our government developed HAARP! We flooded their asses out of them underground bunkers with massive torrential rains created by HAARP.

There were propaganda rumors such as they were all former inmates of insane asylums and/or you couldn’t become a marine until you killed a close family member.

In actuality you just had to finish your first 64 pack of crayons with the paper still on.
