    George Herbert Walker Bush was the last U.S. President that served in combat. There were a number of his predecessors who also paid their debt to the country, but George Bush’s experience was completely unique. He managed to evade the gruesome death of being eaten by Japanese soldiers during the Chichijima incident.

      @@---uf2zl i read that book (it has no relation to the movie btw) and it went in great detail of the fates of about a dozen US pilots who were shot down and captured. None survived. Canibalism was rampant in the japanese army as they had been dehumanized into thinking of the enemy (namely chinese and americans) as being scum and degenerates who deserved torture. That, plus the japanese government not properly supplying its soldiers led to the army essentially seeking an alternative food source. Thus, canibalism.

    On veteran's day this year, a World War II veteran came to my high school and spoke to myself and over 30 other students regarding his service (he was on the crew of the U.S.S. Finback, the very same submarine that rescued Bush). He told us about how a submarine works, and told us the story about how his submarine was the same one that saved Bush during the war. It was a very sobering experience to hear his story. He also told us about several of his experiences after the war, including being stationed in Panama and later visiting several different continents. He never mentioned the story regarding the cannibalism, and I'm assuming that he hadn't heard about them. Either way, it was a very interesting opportunity to hear his story.

So many colonial buildings survived the war yet most has fallen to the hands of Filipinos having no care for architecture at all. We did the rest of destroying Manila's architectural beauty.
