Posted: July 6, 2010 | Author: Darius | Filed under: News Commentary |
In a letter to the editor in an Alabama paper, a World War II veteran Marine set the record straight on the use of profanity during the war, specifically, the F-Bomb. He related how it was used frequently in the new HBO mini-series Pacific, but that this wasn’t an accurate portrayal of the Marines during the war and that time period.
We lost 70 of our 160 men in one push. I never heard the F-word. During six days of vicious fighting at Kunishi Ridge, I never heard the F-word.
