Fun to get revenge on Japs for Singapore


>That night [of the 19 February 1945] was the most horrible that any member of the M. L. [motor launch] crews ever experienced. The scattered rifle shots in the pitch black swamp punctured by the screams of wounded men crushed in the jaws of huge reptiles, and the blurred worrying sound of spinning crocodiles made a cacophony of hell that has rarely been duplicated on earth. At dawn the vultures arrived to clean up what the crocodiles had left.... Of about one thousand Japanese soldiers that entered the swamps of Ramree, only about twenty were found alive.

I like learning about the Pacific front. European fronts are a weird mix of cultural loyalties for me. Pacific I can just focus on Japs getting fucked up and the Americans wrecking shit.

>>33878085
The Pacific is interesting because it was unlike any war seen before it. Also, it was the first really big Jap vs European war.

The naval campaign was bigger than the land campaign, so you'd get a lot of navalfags and less of the normies who are interested in ground combat.

Still

>yfn flood a Japanese tunnel with seawater, then pour in a jerry can of gasoline and light a match

The Island campaign was brutal. Amphibious landing and then going through the jungle only finding the japs in fortified bunkers and tunnels inside the mountains shooting at you with machine guns. The marines had to excruciatingly go and dig them out one by one.

>>33878119
>Japs vs European

Umm. Americans fought the Japs. You can argue people of European descent, which most white Americans are. Not European tho, we tossed them out sometime around 1776.

When I was writing for a small town paper out in Bumfuck, Colorado, the local museum, which was actually really great, had a Japanese goodluck flag that a soldier brought back as a trophy of war. I wrote a piece about how these people had had been returning the flags to the ancestors of the owners because they were significant heirlooms. The interesting part was that our museum owner said well we don't own this - the family of the GI who brought it back does, and we would never return it without their permission. Also, the museum is a keeper of history, and part of the history of this flag is when the GI brought it back to Colorado.

A lot of individuals had closure when they returned the flag, as far as I know. But I could also see why you would keep it. I interviewed vets from later conflicts (Vietnam and Korea) who agreed that ultimately it was up to the individual soldier, but emphasized that the flag was a trophy of war and could be kept fairly.

It sounds like it was absolute hell.
My area of interest for the War in the Pacific is usually with the Navies but every time I read about the war on land, I always get horrific images and descriptions.
The conditions are shit, deadly animals and disease are everywhere, and the Japanese were the toughest enemy the US has ever had to face.

Yeah, it's a convenient way to get people out of a tunnel without going in and clearing it, or waiting for the flame tanks.

Gasoline floats on water, and the water will wash into every nook and cranny, so there won't be a single part of the tunnel that isn't underwater, on fire, or filled with acrid smoke.

The ground battles were fought on equal footing. The naval battles just started becoming more and more curbstomp-infused as the US war machine warmed up and the Mark 14 torpedo had its bugs fixed.

They would never get a secure foothold on continental USA. Never. They would be promptly pushed out to the sea.

Japan wouldn't try either. It's a logistical nightmare.

The point of Pearl Harbor was to choke America out of the Pacific so Japan can do whatever they want. It wasn't for invading America.

Even the plan to invade Australia is much more realistic.
