Reminds me of a story I heard about some Muslim based terrorism going on in
the Philippines During WWII.

Capture 10 terrorists and tie to posts
Kill 1 pig and dip bullets in blood, letting prisoners observe.
Shoot 8 terrorists.
Let 2 go to spread the word.
Problem solved.
(probably an urban myth. I'd try it, though.)..................

I dunno about the myth part. If you have not read Flyboys, the
follow-up to Flags of our Fathers by James Bradley, you have no idea
the miserable stuff that went on in the Pacific war. Both sides were
brutal, and bullets dipped in pig blood doesn't even register on the
'nasty' list.

BTW, Flags is one of the best WW2 books I've ever read.

Why thanks, JohnO. Pathe Movietone News during WW II was more immediate for
me.

I assume you haven't read much about the atrocities committed in that
war. If you get a chance to read Flyboys, go fir it. Or any book about
Bataan or the Japanese in Mongolia and China. Getting shot was
definitely a preferred way to go.

I've seen a few of those on DVD, and they're (roughly) the 40's version
of CNN. And people complain about news bias today. :-)

I dunno about the DVD's. I watched them at the Kent Theater on McKlean Ave.
in Yonkers, every Wednesday night during the war. We were fighting a war on
two fronts. Those reports maintained public support and enlistments. I'm
glad they did, otherwise we'd be speaking German or Japanese today, instead
of English. I haven't read Flyboys or Flags of Our Fathers. My memories are
vivid enough!
