doesnt make it any more plausible to my heart, but i felt they did what they had to do in the best interests of our country at the time, hey during the war, they literally had to go out and shoot all the japaneese that were not dead, because they would not stop fighting, read about guadacanal and tarawa, saipan, the phillipines, the japanees at that time didnt care about others let alone themselves, dt
