Fair winds, Lt Dalton, you have certainly earned it.
Reading anything related to the Japanese POW situation, the Bataan Death March, and the Burma-Thailand Death Railway ("Ship of Ghosts" by Hornfischer) is a very difficult thing to do. Reading about the survivors of those experiences ("Baa Baa Blacksheep" by Boyington, or "Devil At My Heels" by Zamperini...just a few of a score or so I've read) really pisses me off, but also inspires me to be a better man, to see if I can live up to the examples set by these folks.
