I had a great uncle and a dear neighbor who were both 1st Division Marines, both who had been on "the 'canal." Their hatred of the Japanese soldiers - both their brutality toward prisoners and their "dirty" tactics ("playing possum" and then jumping up to kill Marines) - was palpable for the rest of their lives.
The Japanese had no need for tactics, their warrior spirit made up for it. Until their attack on America at Pearl Harbor, and even somewhat after this, the Japanese had no problem whatsoever defeating the British and Commonwealth forces as well as American forces in East Asia. Where they ran into trouble was on Guadalcanal, where their tendency to charge in do-or-die attacks that usually resulted in victory wound up being disastrous. You would think that after the Battle of the Tenaru the Japanese would learn from their mistake and refine their army doctrine, but nope...they didn't at all. There WAS no realization that what they were doing didn't work because they had been indoctrinated to believe that their enemy was inferior, so why would they change anything?
Yup. The main Japanese plan was “ok, the US IS 27 times bigger than Japan, but if we just make the war bloody enough, the weak US voters will want out, and Japan will get a “favorable” peace deal…keeping most of the land invaded.” And it kept being wrong, and Japan kept doubling down.
Japan's first discovery that warrior spirit was not going to carry the day was at Milne Bay, Papua. A crack division was shredded by Australians. This was before Coral Sea battle.
What you mean they had no need for tactics.. Every military employs tactics.And their warrior spirit was very over arrogant .They thought they were a superior people in every manner.They thought their military was the absolute best in every way.But the truth is far from that.They lived under a false sense of security..Their weapons were garbage and their tactics were very flawed.Their codes of honor were destructive to their ranks.They employed brutal discipline to their own people.When they finally faced the full force of American forces they knew they were in big trouble but refused to admit it amongst their command and make adjustments.when things started to fall apart in a battle they employed banzai charges in waves.Yes it caused a lot of casualties on both sides but it wasn't an effective maneuver to win the battles or the war.
I recently read an account of the Battle of Edson’s Ridge on Guadalcanal. It was a very bloody engagement, but far worse for the Japanese, who kept attacking in waves while small groups of outnumbered Marines had to eventually execute a staggered fire and retreat maneuver to avoid being overrun, while they continued to mow down the attackers. Ultimately, the Marines held them off from advancing over the ridge toward the airstrip U.S. forces were desperate to hold. Japanese suffered 10X the number of casualties. I’m sure this is something every Marine hears about in their training, along with all the other storied battles in their history .
No, its a story of a young Marines 1st experiences of combat in the Pacific. You are supposed to listen, not stare unblinking at the cover picture... perhaps its supposed to denote what the young chap could see from his troop ship, perhaps something else...its in the eye & mind of the beholder, it called imagination. Now let's try again... forget the picture of the pretty little boat, pop your earphones on make yourself comfortable, press play & listen to the story. Its really very good indeed.
@@AshHanks-nl5bnyes,the audio is the story but the wrong pictures are hard to rationalize, seems like cheap skate editing... Good history for sure.. 🙏
11:38 Queen of Tonga attended the coronation of George 6th. Grandfather of the UK King Charles 3rd. It rained but the Queen of Tonga sat in her opened carriage still smiling despite the rain. Edwards 8th wanted to marry Wallis Simpson as he was told je could marry her he abdicated from the throne. Hope that helps
Edward the 8th was also a sympathizer of the Nazis and Adolf h. He visited Germany after his abdication and gave his hosts secret information. The Germans promised him that they would put him back on the throne when they won the war that was coming.

Today such “tactics” are referred to as meat wave attacks. “We learn from history that we learn nothing from history “
Two months on a ship for landlubbers is quite a bit of misery.
Photo is not of the President Jackson AP.. No correlation to the audio.. confusing
The photo is of DD-802 USS Gregory, which entered service in 1944.
Well researched. Well written.
I’m too used to this AI narrator telling the story as a German in Russia.
Yeah....annoying to hear a Marine say "LEFTteanet"
This is a destroyer

The ship in the opening picture would not carry 1,000 troops.
Shoddy work on this piece.

Fantastico marine.... Respect from Vietnam. Allahu akhbar.
The Japanese learned that the U.S. Navy was not to be trifled with and that they should never piss off the Marine Corps. They get mean….
So you got to use the red seat
1st! 😁😁😁Allegedly!
Edward VIII was NEVER CROWNED so I'm sure the person who wrote this memoir was talking the coronation of George VI
To much dribble, make your point, man😮
😮
🇺🇸👍
No American wrote this.
Way to long
“Too”…. go home, short bus.
It is an autobiographry....seriously....have you never read a book?
