  “Being a WWII flamethrower operator sounds less like a job and more like signing up to be a walking barbecue.”

  The thought of hearing that hiss before a blast must have been terrifying. If you were behind one of these operators, would you feel safer or more afraid?

  Carrying a tank of fire on your back… yeah, I can see why the life expectancy wasn’t great.

  Life as a Japanese POW?? Especially starting with the initial propaganda that allied forces were demons, and then being surprised by the treatment in the POW camp, that would be such a great fall asleep story
