Salomon

The Medal of Honor citation says it all: “As the perimeter began to be overrun, it became increasingly difficult for Captain Salomon to work on the wounded. He then saw a Japanese soldier bayoneting one of the wounded soldiers lying near the tent. Firing from a squatting position, Captain Salomon quickly killed the enemy soldier. Then, as he turned his attention back to the wounded, two more Japanese soldiers appeared in the front entrance of the tent.

“As these enemy soldiers were killed, four more crawled under the tent walls. Rushing them, Captain Salomon kicked the knife out of the hand of one, shot another, and bayoneted a third. Captain Salomon butted the fourth enemy soldier in the stomach and a wounded comrade then shot and killed the enemy soldier. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Captain Salomon ordered the wounded to make their way as best they could back to the regimental aid station, while he attempted to hold off the enemy until they were clear.

“Captain Salomon then grabbed a rifle from one of the wounded and rushed out of the tent. After four men were killed while manning a machine gun, Captain Salomon took control of it. When his body was later found, 98 dead enemy soldiers were piled in front of his position.”

A Trojan fighting on....

We were going to have to fuck up the Japs sooner or later anyway, so it's probably just as well that they started it. Gave us an excuse to drop two big ones on those slanty-eyed sonsabitches in '45. Give-Em-Hell Harry showed those fucks a thing or two!

@thesquat Never happen, squat. Those Dutch do-gooders have too much respect for me. They know if they fuck with me that I'll go Jack Bauer on them.

@Waldorf My family was safely out of Germany-Austria and into the mountains near San Carlos de Bariloche with some in TX thanks to some generous help from the American government. Gehlen handled the situation well gaining compensation for his friends helping them escape on the US government nickel. All in call it was a job well done. thanks for the gumball Mickey,

So Roosevelt didn't alert the military and thus was responsible for over a thousand naval personnel being killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor? They must have left that part out in history class.

@ATLBRUIN it's really not you're fault. It's called indoctrination.

You were spoon fed a bunch of "facts" and fables in gubment schools.

You were never taught how to question those "facts" and fables.

Your idiot kids were taught "global warming" and "gender whatever" just like you were "taught' about WW2.

Critical thinking is TAUGHT in private schools. But you wouldn't know that. Huh. sc

@San Clemente It's really not your fault either for your indoctrination. You listened obediently to your priest when he told you what to do.

@tempomacdougall Roosevelt was in a pinch because he had won re-election by promising “ your sons will not die fighting in a foreign war”. American sentiment was solid against the war.... until Dec 07. Army recruiting went thru the roof after that as people lined up to fight “the japs and krauts”. The plan worked.

Speaking of pinch, it's a little known fact that Roosevelt was pinching a loaf at the exact moment the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor.

@BobLinMN-2 Japan had been in Korea since the 1800s. How exactly was Japans aggression any different then the wests aggression in China, African colonies, France;s grab of vietnam, britains grab of singapore, Netherlands grab of Indonesia, Englands grab of Australia and NZ, etc etc. It wasn't any different. Britains grab of Hong kong was one of dozens examples of western aggression against China. Southeast Asia, was colonized at the time by the British, French, and Dutch. They didnt get it peacefully either. Roosevelt wanted war to serve his British handlers. He sure got it.
