John b george, a junior infantry officer who faced the japanese at the gifu, i think it's gifu, and later in burma, wrote. Most of us who have fought in the pacific are ready to admit here and now, that for sheer bloody, hardened steel guts, the stocky and hard muscled little jap dogboy has it all over any of us. There is no question of our being able to defeat him, but the time, effort, blood and money required to do the job may run to proportions beyond all conception. Particular if the devil is allowed to develop the resources he is now holding.
