[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1192362, member: 18945"] As a kid, my brother and I were always sitting in my father's auto shop listening to the customers standing around talking about the war. This was late 50s-thru the 60s. One of the very first jobs I ever had was with a construction crew and the old backhoe operater was in on the Okinawa invasion--said it was just gawd awful. Said someone had put up a big sign at Naha, that just said "Kill japs-kil japs-kill more japs". The media would have a cow if anything like that happened today. Lost one uncle in the Pacific, 3 others saw action in it. My father was drafted, served 2 years, but didn't leave the states, as Roosevelt let all married men out as soon as Berlin fell--or right after. [/QUOTE]
