How come you didn't join the Marines and volunteer for the Pacific?



The Army Air Corps was a tougher outift that took higher losses.


When you joined this was not only uncertain, but being touted as highly
unlikely, so don't give us this line of crap about joining because you knew
where the toughest action was going to be. The USAAF may have taken more
caualties in gross numbers, but the USMC in the Pacific had a much higher
percentage rate. Do a google on Tarawa.
