Getting back to stories. My Uncle was in the Pacific(not sure where this happened). He was with a squad of guys on patrol when they quielty came up to some Japanese in a house or hut. My Uncle snuck under the house while his buddies took perimeter around the house surrounding it. They then proceeded to fire shots in the air. When the Japanese troops ran out my Uncle got them out right after they ran out.

Another one of my Uncles was leading a patrol when he lead them into a ambush. He saw the ambush at the last second and tried to run away to warn his buddies. He was shot 4 times in the back by a machine gun and lived. He was captured and spent 6-8 months as prisoner. He was tortured and hung by his thumbs before he escaped. I still can't believe today that he lived through that and lived being shot four times in the back by a machine gun. I always enjoy talking about the war with him.
