		<description>The fact is that the U.S. military was segregated unti the Korean War. Most Black servicemen performed support roles, and the Tuskeegee airmen and any other all-black units were just that - all Black. that&#039;s just the way it was.
 
Eastwood&#039;s â€œLetters from Iwo Jimaâ€ does rewrite history, however, in what the film doesnâ€™t accurately portray. The film had two scenes portraying Marines captured by the Japanese: one was bayoneted by several Japanese soldiers, and the other died of his wound despite humanitarian care by his captors. The truth is that both would have likely had their eyes gouged out, their ears cut off, their tongues cut out, their testicles and penis cut off and stuffed in their mouths, and probably skinned, all before they died. The Japanese were not disposed to treat prisoners of war any more kindly than they would treat civilian populations, due to their Code of Bushido. 

Think Nanking. 

Eastwood was obviously thinking of the Japanese audiences that would view this movie, a people who has never come to terms with their militaristic past. 

Neither was there a portrayal of the many imported Korean slaves who dug much of the tunnels nor of the â€œComfort Womenâ€ who serviced the Japanese soldiers. 

This is the enemy that the Marines faced and fought against in the Pacific War, and from the very beginning at Guadalcanal, they quickly learned to return the &quot;favor&quot; many-fold with machine guns, bayonets, flame-throwers, and ultimately, nukes.</description>

		<description>Crispus_Attucks, 

Nice comeback.... Maybe you should try wearing your bigotry in your back pocket from now on... where it will obviously be closer to your brain....

Let&#039;s see here....

From a real book, called a dictionary oddly enough, that I as a white person can read from...

Malignant:  Spiteful, disposed to cause harm, suffering, or distress deliberately; feeling or showing ill will or hatred. 

Yep.  That sure fits Spike Lee and his ilk.

Black.

Yep, last I checked, he&#039;s black.

dwarf:  of unusually small stature or size; diminutive.

Yep, he is a small person... I&#039;ll leave it at that.

So tell me Crispus_Attucks, what exactly did panic say that warranted such racism and bigotry?

&quot;Who really cares what this malignant black dwarf says or does?&quot;

A very enlightening statement from a typical redneck-inbred-hick. Clearly along the lines of Marion &quot;no balls&quot; Morrison, the skirt-wearing Jennifer Edgar Hoover, and the mindless idiot Reagan and his astrology running-the-country wife.  Yes, another typical re-PUKE-lican girly actor with a fake stage name trying to rewrite AmeriKKKan history.   

If you can read at all ...YOU MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING!
