I was speaking with a Dell computer support person in the Philippines the other day. I asked if she ever heard of the Bataan Death March. Never had.
We often hear how “we will never forget.” Fact is, humanity does, for the most part - eventually. At the very least, the terrible emotional edge wears off with succeeding generations. In a Death March documentary not that many years ago some survivors were asked to go to Japan and meet with some of their guards. A healing trip. One survivor refused to go. “I will never forgive them,” he said. “Never.“ The frightening thing is, man’s inhumanity to man is as likely to rear its ugly head today as it did 1941. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Wow. Such a powerful and sad story. Good men and women were treated so horribly. Their sacrifices are inspiring. The Greatest Generation for sure. They saved the world from tyranny and they set the US (and the rest of the Free World) on a great run for a long time. |
