      Snap. That was my first thought when I looked into Sgt. Park’s eyes.

      RIP to him and all the brave men who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

    My dad was stationed as commander in New Guinea during WWII, and he said of all the places that he had been, nothing scared them like the little men of New Guinea. They were our allies during the war, but seeing their painted faces holding up big spears and watching the soldiers pass, make their hair stand up all over them. Ha!

      Aussie soldiers had a real affection for them. Called them Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels because the P.N.G. fellas were quite gentle to people they felt a bond to, and when there were Aussie wounded to be carried, the P.N.G. fellas gathered them up, then carried them carefully for miles and miles without complaint. Pretty much anyone who survived being wounded on the Kokodoa owed his life to a number of Brown Fellas.
      I was born just after the war, and a number of times I heard old guys talking about various places we fought, and
      P.N.G. would be mentioned and
      BAM
      one of them would turn seriously to us younger people, and very carefully tell us about the brave and gentle men of P.N.G. who they all felt such gratitude to, even the ones who were not wounded. And while he was talking, the other old Digs would be watching your face carefully, quite seriously checking that you were listening and paying respect to the angels.
      That same watching would happen with the other common story, when Japan was mentioned, they would recount some of the cruel things they had all heard, but the difference was as clear as night and day, because the old Digs would be watching you with a clear dismissive disinterest, and the first time you even LOOKED like doubting their story of cruelties they had heard of ( And they did tend to lay it on a bit thick ) they would all kind of flick you away with their eyes and a kind of dismissing stare.
      They knew what they knew, and didn't care what you thought about the Japs, but I think it would have been different if anyone had said siht about their Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels.

      @@rickroden7666 Apparently there were a number of guides for the first party of Aussies that went up the trail and held the Japanese and even drove them back.
      Men from villages that had been over-run further to the North along the trail. And they stayed with their Aussies and died alongside them, because, probably, they thought now that the Aussies were there in numbers they would toss the Japanese back into the sea.
      That Kokoda trail fighting was really horrible , people ate one another including Aussies eating Japanese, because it was simply impossible to bring forward enough WATER for them for weeks on end, let alone food, because it was all brought in on men's backs. And the first thing they brought, both sides, was ammo.
      The Papua men were willing to work for the Aussies, and even the Aussies had not enough manpower. The Japanese simply gathered all of the men from the Northern coast, and forced them to carry supplies, shot many of them to frighten the others, and gave ORDERS to their forward troops that no food or water was to be allowed the porters for their journey back.
      It was a weeks walk in normal times if you had to carry a normal load. Locals have walked it in three days, but that is with somewhere to stay at night, and water and food available to them.
      The result was they walked THOUSANDS of P.N.G. men up there, who starved to death trying to walk back to their homes through the bush because the Japanese simply shot dead anyone they saw in the bush. No one knows how many thousand P.N.G. men died but it was tens of thousands at least, far more than Australia lost.

      They were starting to in the US as well, but the early farm steam engines had a tendency to start fires in the fields at harvest time, so some farmers preferred to use horses when the fire risk was high. My grandfather's cousin, who moved to the west coast with him later, was caught in such a fire, and it was , in those times, considered a miracle he survived the burns.

    I see nothing "unsettling" about any of these photographs. It was back when people were free to experiment, invent, be themselves for good or bad, and when men were men and women were women WITHOUT a "NANNY" Government telling them what was good for them and what wasn`t. Those were the best days as far as freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is concerned.

      What in the Hell are you rambling on about!?
      A GI with tears in his eyes, and we’re told he’s killed w days later. A poor horse being hoisted into a mine. Soldiers from WW1. Soldiers from the American Civil War. Some poor Russian guy tied to s poll (supposedly by some state authority, I presume).
      What does all of that have to do with your “people being themselves” crap.
      And all of those that ARE about experiments and inventions… yeah, we do that today as well.
      The absolute ONLY one I can think of that related to your weird comment is the one about speed limits - though I think most people today think speed limits are a good idea.
      The idea that people need to be profound and deep on every single YT upload is a curse for this media.

      I upvoted your comment after reading the first sentence, then I read the rest. What a complete load of bollocks. You have been brainwashed by the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia, plus ignorance about how the “others” lived. Yeah, life was great for those who held the reins of power. And how could you pull up your bootstraps when you didn’t have boots?

    I find the first photo to be the most unsettling. That could have been my dad, or his brother, or their dad in the ginned up war before the debacle they call WWII. The wealthy and powerful men have been creating these wars, and men speak with pride of serving in them. Do any of them deserve anything less than an eternity in the lake of fire?

      Cavities and other dental ailments can lead to inflammation, fever and sepsis.
      At a time when today's dental care was a foreign concept at best, these numbers are reasonable.
