Veterans

It’s a product of combat. Which I was never in but my dad and a lot of my friends were.

I’m sure there are soldiers of different armies that feel that way about us. It’s their experiences that were up close and it happened to their friends.

One guy interviewed on tv talked about the North Koreans who found his loaded truck full of critically wounded lying in stretchers. They burned the truck with him in it. He escaped in a ditch. He still hates them.

Awful things happened and the Japanese were especially brutal. A Japanese sergeant or officer could beat and execute a Japanese soldier. They despised people who had surrendered. That’s why the treatment prisoners so badly.


My dad hated the North Koreans as well. It mostly stemmed from them recovering dozens of bodies of US troops who had been tied with their hands behind them and it looked like about 40 guys had used them for bayonet practice.

Hope that helps
