The Trivia Hound

658. Pacific Theater, Feb. 1945

Amy & DesiLinguist got #657!


The Allies are now only 650 miles from Tokyo. This sergeant is tough on his men, but they'll have to be tough to survive the enemy strategy:
  • fight from tunnels underground
  • don't plan on surviving
  • kill 10 Americans for each one of their own deaths.

I think this is Sands of Iwo Jima. John Wayne is Sgt. Stryker.

The individual stories of the men who raised the flag are inspiring and heartbreaking. That looks like Ira Hayes on the left.

I'd have to agree.
