In 1946, off the Uss Princeton, I RON at Orote airfield, Guam and a Jap

put a
few rounds into camp there. Didnt hit anybody but scuttlebut had it, there

had
been some casulties previously.

Warren,


Sure, there were a few Japanese soldiers on various Pacific islands who
preferred to live like hermits than to come home to the humiliation of
defeat. But I have never seen any info that they killed any significant
number of occupying troops. The situation in Iraq appears to be very
different from the situation in Japan or Germany after WWII ended.

I think the operative term here is his use of the word "significant". It
wasn't his ass that got shot with a 7.7, so it ain't significant.
