Excellent link, I just wish I could find the link again to the web page of a Japanese doctor who was in WWII. I especially liked the comments that he made about misinformation Japanese soldiers were given about the Americans at the beginning of WWII. One interesting tidbit was that they we told not to get within unarmed combat range of Americans because Americans were all boxers. Another was that American hand granades were defective, in that they could only kill from a distance. This doctor goes on to tell how, when an American pineaple was lobbed a few yards away from him he scrambled furiously to get within three feet of it so he would be safe. Fortunately for him, the pineapple was a dud. Dale LaRoy Splitstone
