Neat trick. I suspect the writer meant allied forces. I'm guessing from the uniforms that they were Aussies. Awesome set of photos - both my dad and my grandad served in the Pacific.

It just started last night on the AFN for the military. It's free here (no HBO required), so I'm sure it lags the HBO presentation by a week or more...

Yeah, I'd agree with that. We're soft, life's pretty easy in the grand scheme of things. Maybe there's some good to that.
