Technology Changes With Every War, But The Universal Human Experience Of Combat Remains The Same. Marines And Soldiers From The Battlefields Of Valley Forge To The Streets Of Fallujah Understand Patriotism, Fear, Death, Loneliness, And The Humor That Helps Them Through The Rough Times. By Dammit, We'Re Marines! Is A Collection Of Eye Witness Accounts By 52 Veterans Who Served On The Pacific Front During World War Ii. When Ordered To Secure Another Japaneseheld Island, These Marines Grabbed Their M1 Rifles, Climbed Down Rope Ladders Into The Waiting Landing Craft, And Hit The Beaches. They Faced Not Only An Embedded, Wellequipped Enemy, But Also Flesh Shredding Coral Reefs, Malarial And Dengue Feverridden Jungles, Mosquito And Crocodileinfested Swamps, And A Noxious Moonscape Sulfur Island. The Author'S Father Was One Of Those Marines Who Fought On Bougainville, Guam, And Iwo Jima. He Died When She Was 15 And Never Shared His Wartime Stories. Wanting To Learn More, Chatfield Sought Out Veterans Of Those Conflicts. Their Stories Offer A Literary Archeological Dig Of Sorts Into 1940'S Culture And Technology. Body Armor Was A Canvas Shirt With A Metal Covered Copy Of The Bible In The Breast Pocket. Camouflage Clothing Was Doityourself Burlap Suits Stippled With Max Factor Women'S Makeup. Cutting Edge Medicine Was Sulfa Tablets To Treat Infection And Blood Plasma Shipped In Glass Bottles To Field Hospitals. Canvas Hammocks Stacked 810 High Served As Bunks Aboard Overcrowded Ships. They Used Salt Water Soap For Salt Water Baths And Were Issued Opa Tickets, Vmail, Crations, Krations, And Helmets That Served As Sinks And Saucepans. Creating The Safest Foxhole Took Some Ingenuity And A Few Discarded Tank Parts. Most Of The Veterans Interviewed In This Book Are Marines, But War Is A Collaborative Effort. Marines Were Transported By The Navy, Relieved By The Army, And Most Of The Time Their Job Was To Secure Airfields For The Army Air Corps. No Story Of The Marines Would Be Complete Without Hearing From Those Branches Of Service. Chaplains, Corpsmen, Sailors, Soldiers, And B29 Bomb Crews Share Their Stories Of Serving With The Marines. These Veterans Offer Their Stores As A Part Of Our Historical Record With The Hope That Battles Like Saipan, Bougainville, And Iwo Jima Will Never Happen Again.
