Ya really makes you think doesn't it? When you hear things like this, kind of knocks you back on your heels. Whoa! The realities of war!

It happened a lot; bad commands costing the lives of the men.
In some cases, it was due to the Lieutenant being new (I believe a lot of Officers getting KIA were Lieutenants) and unexperienced, but in other cases it was plain stupidity.
If you look at WWI, it was even worse, but then it was high command that didn't care about the lives of the soldiers.
All they wanted was to gain ground, no matter what the cost was.
Sickening.
I'm glad they got rid of him as soon as possible.
Heck, if I heard there were some enemy camping nearby, I'd call the artillery from here to Tokyo to blast them to the Walhalla!

Here's a part of a GI's uniform you don't often see in public:
...and something not always available to the troops when needed!

This is an NCO's Combat Tunic worn by the Special Landing Forces of the Imperial Japanese Navy during WWII. This one is in near mint condition.

Nope you don't see them around too often. Nice Japanese tunic. Yes it looks like it's in great condition.
