While you've been busy nutburgering the day away, I've been busy finishing up "ROOSEVELT'S CENTURIONS - FDR and the COMMANDERS HE LED to VICTORY in WORLD II" by Joseph E. Persico. A massive neuron such as mine feasts on sumptuous meals such as this on a daily basis while your neuron is on an eternal quest for a Twinkie. The paragraph below is from page 202.
"Out of Guadalcanal came a story that tickled FDR. A Marine allegedly complained that he had never has a chance to "kill a Jap." His commanding officer told him to climb a nearby hill and shout, "To Hell with Emperor Hirohito." That should bring the enemy out of hiding. The Marine did so and a Japanese soldier came out of the jungle shouting, "To Hell with Roosevelt!" The Marine didn't shoot him, as he later explained to his buddies, "I couldn't kill a Republican!" The president regaled his visitors with the story at every opportunity,"
