freedom for many

It feels good to back over that long and tough ordeal. Some of the ex-prisoners wept openly when fighter jets came and waved hello in their planes, a spectacle for some that was long  overdue. The amount of tears of joy was great but the march was hard and long on the way back and I am sure some might have given up on the way there if it wasn't for that show I don't know how many we would have lost.

The intense batte

The battle that  ensued his freeing our prisoners was loud and intense. We used explosions to draw their attention away. When they weren't looking we attacked and boy, they were not expecting that. The sheer force and speed that our elite Rangers attacked with might have scared the pants off of them. Some of the prisoners, when we finally defeated  all the Japanese, would not leave. They though it was a trap and if they left they would be killed. When it set in though, they were crying and thanking us though some of them couldn't walk. They had been gone a long time and were shocked to see our new high tech weapons. I heard they started to eat more from the stuff they stole when the Japanese weren't looking so it seemed they were eating better.

geting ready to patrol

Life is good. We are doing some hard hiking stuff but other than that we are just chilling in the Philippines. Not only are all the people nice here but there is tons of amazing food to be found. But times of celebration are over. We have to start moving out to scan the future battle ground. Things might get brief from here on out because of the battle soon to come.

FINALLY

YESSSSSS! Just got word that my battalion was finally assigned to something worth an arm for. We received word that there are American POWs held in the Philippines by the Japanese and my boys are ready to bring them back home. Many come from farms, but they feel like they have been training for this their hole life. They have been living in some pretty bad conditions, almost as bad as the ones the Jews are facing in Germany, but I have faith we can bring them home. We aren't packing heavy because of the amount of marching we have to do but we still going to give them a run for their money especially when their all powerful tanks taste our bazookas.

Suns out guns out

Think your having a hard day? I worked day and night to try a train a rag-tag team of artillery carrying soldiers and to turn them into strong American commandos and you would not believe the job we get. We are in charge of protecting some guy that no one even cares about. I DIDN'T SURVIVE PEARL HARBOR FOR THIS! I may smoke a cool pipe and have an amazing mustache but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be helping the war effort. Maybe I'll get my battalion assigned a better assignment.

Until next,
