Texas Fred is an unknown quantity at this point
I know the answer as i used it to explain what the MARINES, in particular, and the Army, and Aussies were up against in the Pacific. They had just shown a TV documentary called "Tarawa, MARINE victory or MARINE Debacle?" My wife asked me if the outfit I respect most was just a mistake. After the man gave in,a few months later, I asked my wife, this question, " How would you like to have been a 17 year old MARINE, raised in a Judeo-Christian environment, who met that jap Lt while all his juices were flowing properly? --And how would you explain a string of total victories, albeit with horrible casualty lists, against such people?" I will let someone else claim the prize. I have already used the Lt. to win an argument at home. Semper Fi
