my grandad was a Gunnery Sgt, USMC in WW2. He was on patrol in okinawa with about 7 or 8 others, on a jungleside path, when suddenly, japanese ambushed and attacked from the jungle. they all took cover in a crater, and they fought, and the radioman was talking to HQ, and he was behind my grandpa. my grandpa peeked his head up, a shot rang out at him, he ducked down. He looked back, and the radioman's head was almost completly hollow fom the head wound. when the fight was over, they counted 6 japanese bodies. my grandpa accounted for 3 of them
