Famous WW2 Quote
"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You win the war by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country!"George Patton, 31 May 1944

Whilst the description "A beach on Kwajalein....." seems accurate it hardly covers the full content of the image - I see at least 9 dead Japanese in the gulley and surrounds and would guess these have been dragged from the bunker on the left - quite a gruesome sight and undoubtedly a common one for the USMC.
