Pada tanggal 19 Februari 1945 setelah malam tanpa tidur.. Setelah beberapa surat tertulis. Setelah 48 Pesawat Marinir menjatuhkan bahan peledak tinggi mereka dan napalm di lereng suribachi... Traktor Peleton ke-2 mencapai pantai.. Marinir melompat ke pasir vulkanik hitam. Banyak dari mereka membungkuk rendah dan mencoba untuk maju ke depan. Tapi kakinya tenggelam ke pasir sampai ke kness nya. Dia merasa seperti salmon mencoba berenang di hulu.

Amtracs, unable to do more than uselessly churn the black ash, made no progress up the slopes; their Marine passengers had to dismount and slog forward on foot.

During the “island hopping” campaigns of the Pacific Theater, include Okinawa many Marines believed flamethrowers made the difference between their lives and death.

“We could not have taken the island without the flamethrower". In a Marine Corps oral history of the battle. “It saved lives because it did not require men to go into caves, which were all booby-trapped and promised certain death to all who entered.”

The Marines’ M2 flamethrowers were heavy and cumbersome, making it difficult to run when wearing the device. The unit also made the Marine a high-value target—easy to see and easy to shoot.

One Marine Corps flamethrower unit had more 90-percent casualty rate—leading a military statistician to estimate the average lifespan on the battlefield of a Marine flamethrower operator at four minutes.

This was a fight with rifle, machine-guns and mortars. “If a mortar shell landed beside you,” said Pierce, “the guy was blown to bits and his body was nothing but a black hulk.” You need an artilery to blow them back... and off course a bazooka.

“You could run up it in no time at all,” Pierce told me. But it was of vital importance and there was only one way of taking it: a yard at a time by the unfortunate men on the ground. With the enemy well dug in, whole companies of marines were decimated as they repeatedly assaulted the feature.

Pierce and his buddies were wet all the time. “You never dried off. We landed with what we were wearing and one extra set of clothing, and if they were wet or worn out, it was tough shit.

The rain and the close nature of the fighting meant that no fires could be lit at the front, so there was no hot water for coffee, and no hot food. They ate mainly C rations, tins of pre-cooked food, usually bully beef.

Loads of people shat in their pants, believe me,” added Pierce, “even if you didn’t have diarrhoea.” Can you believe that.. u sit behind machine gun.. and you shat..???? Fu*k
