My Grandfather was a survivor of the Bataan Death March. I was too young at the time to understand the gravity of the stories my father (a marine himself) would tell me about his dad. To this day, I remember seeing the pride he had of *his* father. I lost my dad a few years back so the memories hit a little harder but I Thank You for bringing this story back to the surface for me. These brave souls should never be forgotten.

[@RealJPMcGrath]

Lost my dad almost 4 years ago, crazy how you only think to ask certain things after they're gone. I lost him when I was 21 and thought I was an adult and knew what to ask and would remember everything but once they're gone it's just gone. It's weird, hope you're going well brother, your dad sounds a lot like mine🤙

So...I've watched this video 3 times trying to find some way to react to it other than being numbed by the weight of the story being told. It's shocking...disturbing...to listen to this account while knowing what happened to the soldiers who were forced into the Bataan Death March. You find these snippets of history that SHOULD be taught and bring them to light. Thank you. Until 2 days ago...I didn't even know the Philippine Scouts were a thing.

[@Gary_OwenC126]

Stories of the Philippines scouts from the unit history of the 26th Cavalry still ring in my ears from when I started reading them in the '80's only reinforced by media accounts (movies etc) when it comes to you that these men were real flesh and blood, that they actually did these Herculean things and more plus so many of them just evaporated from history like they did it's nothing short of heartbreaking. The unit I was assigned to (decades later) C Troop 1st Squadron of the 26th Cavalry at a certain point in time their history simply goes quiet, it's known the remainder of the unit refused to surrender and retreated to the mountains to carry on gurrella warfare, apparently none survived. Remnants of the 26th were on the death march, some survived that too, my understanding is that none of C Troop survived the war. Here's to lifting a Red Horse to my elder brothers in arms when I return to the Philippines again, I'm very proud of my vague association with you all.

I was blessed with the opportunity to meet a Canadian survivor of a Japanese POW camp. He didn't talk much about what he went through, but i remember the look in his eyes when a Japanese gentleman walked up to us. He lifted himself from the table and turned his back to walk away. Before leaving, he apologized to the Japanese man but told him the memories of what his people did to his comrades forced him to leave. I have visited the edges of hell, but that man had lived there

[@SifernosRatLord]

I grew up thinking we hated the Japanese for being different. I think we just might have hated them for being monsters... I don't know how Japan gets so little flak for what they did compared to Germany... The Germans were perfecting horrific acts while the Japanese were inventing new ways to be inhuman monsters. My college education made me face what Japan did to other countries... What Japan did to women and children. We have photos of what they did. It wasn't forever ago. It wasn't even 100 years ago. I hate thinking about it. I'm Polish and I've seen the photos of the camps... My uncle's photos from visiting family outside Auschwitz. Seeing that prison boat made me wish for the camps. Such horrific suffering...

I was very lucky in HS many many years ago in that I had some very good teachers, one of which is now mentioned in the National Museum of the United States Air Force. As well, I grew up surrounded by Air Force members and veterans that had been involved in a myriad of Air Force projects in the 1960's and 70's. BUFF pilots, EFB-111 Aardvark pilots, F-4 pilots, Project Blue Book type guys, Astronaut program and my flight instructor was a retired Brigadier General who "learned to fly in a P-40" and at 70+ years old was still teaching University courses and taking glider lessons.

@MrSirwolf2001 I graduated high school last year and just recently became obsessed with this whole community, Demo, Brandon, Donut, Fat Electritian, and others.

[@Jakal-pw8yq]

First of all your grandfather is a hero! My dad was a veteran of the US Navy South Pacific and growing up in our household there was never anything that was made in Japan. Ever. When I was old enough to buy a car my dad's exact words, not mine, were "there's no way in hell you're going to buy one of those Jap cars." He had a couple of buddies who were captured and worked in the coal mines and companies such as Mitsubishi, but not Mitsubishi. I don't recall the name it's been so many years. But like your grandfather, my dad's buddies were walking skeletons by the end of the war and they could never shake the brutality they endured at the hands of the Japanese. I didn't share my father's feelings especially because since the second grade my best friend is Japanese-American. But at this point in my life being 69 years old I don't fault my dad for his feelings. It was a different time and it was a hellish war in the Pacific. Not that the ETO wasn't but the war in the Pacific was a different beast.😢🙏💖⚓️🇺🇲💯

[@TheSeptemberSapphire]

My uncle’s grandfather was in the Philippine Scouts and survived the March. Not sure about specifics but I saw the video and shared it with him and he told me some of what happened. The Japanese went looking for his pregnant wife (grandma pregnant with his dad) and the family hid her in the oven because they didn’t know what would happen. Both survived the war and moved to the US.

First, I love your channel and have gone through almost all your videos in short order. I wish you had been my high school history teacher. One thing you may not know, though I wouldn't be willing to bet on it, is the impact Bataan had on my home state of New Mexico. Of those captured were the 200th Coast Artillery, New Mexico National Guard. Of the 1816 men identified, 829 never came home. In 1989 NMSU ROTC began sponsoring the Bataan Memorial Death March. In 1992 the White Sands Missile Range and the New Mexico National Guard joined the sponsorship and the march was moved to the White Sands Missile Range. Survivors of Bataan have attended regularly, though I am not certain if any are still alive at this time. Participation has grown from approximately 100 participants initially to almost 10,000. There are military and civilian divisions. My cousin has participated in this march several times, though our family didn't have anyone there (Grandaddy fought in the trenches of France in WWI, I was an Army Nurse but never saw combat), he wishes to show respect to those who were there. Thank you for bringing these people and their history to us and giving them the recognition they deserve.

My father also never talked about the war. I only found out what happened after his death by obtaining his Army records from the National Archive. The reports for that period couldn't tell the whole story, but they were mind-blowing anyway.

It is good to see such valor remembered. Living in southern New Mexico I grew up knowing quite a few gentleman that knew the ghost.

[@caseyhellman7155]

I absolutely love your videos. Makes my day.

[@Carandini]

The Bataan Death March was partially explained by the blind obedience of Japanese soldiers. They expected any relevant information to be given to them and didn't ask questions. So as each group of guards passed the prisoners along to the next group, no Japanese bothered to ask if the prisoners had rested or been fed - they just followed the orders and moved them along to the next checkpoint and the next group of guards. I remember reading in a memoir from a survivor about how the Japanese were equally brutal to their own soldiers. As the POWs are being marched away, they're being passed on the road by Japanese troops headed for the build-up to take Corregidor. The veteran vivildy described seeing one of the Japanese soldiers pass out from the heat. A sergeant comes along and beings beating him with a switch until the soldier finally stands up and manages to stagger back into line. The veteran's response to watching this was 'if they treat their own people like this, what the hell are they going to do to us.'
