That's interesting. My father never talked about the war, which I regret. He never told me whether he agreed with the way the war ended. I came to my conclusion independently because what he did do was teach me to think for myself.

My father spent eight years in the USMC, starting in 1938. As it turns out, he never saw combat in all that time. He recruited a lot of Marines who did, though. The ship he was on before the war went to the bottom while he was on recruiting duty. When the war ended, he was a navigator/bombardier in a PBJ, the USMC nomenclature for the B-25 Mitchell medium bomber, therefore almost certainly would have been involved in the invasion.

If you haven't read William Manchester's war memoirs, I recommend them. amazon.com
