And this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...acific,_World_War_II) …is the one from WWII of which the movie, Bridge Over the River Kwai, was made. Denying it just show ignorance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.

The Lost Battalion is from WWI. Since they were called it first, I will stand on it. Google books on the Lost Battalion. Yours is not yet first nor the only. The Works is bigger than Texas. | |||

I never said it was the only one. And, that doesn’t even matter. The fact is there was a Lost Battalion in WWII. It is commonly referred to the Lost Battalion. Monuments are erected for it. There are books written about it as well as one very famous movie. Arguing the one from WWI was “the only one” is nuts and everyone here will see it as such. So, if you want to make that argument — by all means…carry on.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Lane, show me a country where the men won’t fight back when their country is attack. The Russian effort and cost during WWII dwarfs the US’s by a long shot. Was nationalism good for Germany? I don’t think so. | |||

As every strong country the world has ever known were nationalistic…those were all exceptions to the rule.

No Joshua…that is not what you said. You made the claim it was the one and only and then doubled down — being wrong all along. No part of it was popular with anyone. But, I bet more people watched “Bridge Over River Kwai” than any other production on the subjects. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.
