I Am Interested In Ww1 and Ww2

Today is the 75th anniversary of the battle of Iwo Jima

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofSF463vpCQ]

[i]Threescore and fifteen years ago,
 
On Iwo Jima's scoriac stones
 
Many a young man bled and died
 
For country, God or emperor.
 

 
Now looking at this desolate isle
 
Today, but little more remains
 
Than mostly unkempt monuments
 
And dreadful artifacts of war,
 
Rusting where they fell, so long ago.[/i]

Oh Lee Marvin in The Dirty Dozen is a classic war film.

@therighttothink50 You know that movie is based on real soldiers? But they were
called the Filthy 13 I believe. They shaved their heads into mohawks,and painted their
faces with war paint before battles. And from what I understand, they didn't bathe
too much.
