highly recommended movie

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2005)

I watched the movie and bought the book, ghost soldier. I was touched by the suffering of the American and Filipino soldiers, as well as the Filipino civilians. I still can't believe why the FDR left behind the Philippines and give his full support in Europe. Philippines during that time is US colony and a lot of American soldiers needs his help. FDR even promises to the soldiers in Bataan, that help is coming. He let his soldiers be killed and others surrender to the enemy and suffered more under the cruelty of Japanese soldiers. He rather protect other country than his colony and his own people. We have every reason to get even with the Japanese than the Germans, REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR!!!!!!!! Japanese directly attacked us, the Germans did not. I feel sorry for all the soldiers who die (in Bataan,Corregidor and Prisoner camp).
