The Japanese
I'm surprised he called them "the Japanese" every single time. I know that's how it would be today, as we are so politically correct, but in 1957, people would have seen nothing wrong with using the word Japs. It's a small thing, but was very unrealistic to me. Almost silly to see a Marine saying that, especially in those circumstances.
I guess it's like looking at clouds. You see one thing and I see another. Peace.
