Reading about and watching documentary footage of Guadalcanal, Tinian, Pelelu, Iwo Jima really is stunning. Those men and yes the women who served as nurses in forward areas were made of sterner stuff than we have seen since, No disrespect to veterans of Korea, VietNam and the Sandboxes intended but damn WWII in the Pacific was brutal. Ken Burns did a film about it, it wasn't completely comprehensive but it covered enough to make you choke up more than once.
