Tom, You make a valid point. I based my experience on today's world. Back in the 1940's probably many of the boys then had not been exposed to the world community. They came from backgrounds of all white neighborhoods and then were all of a sudden shipped overseas to find that they were faced with an enemy largely unknown to them. I can understand how hatred of a total group could happen. I would hope that in our age something like that could not be possible. I also hope that my ramblings here can be understood!
