Master 308 Part 1 A biography of Eleanor Roosevelt.

Eleanor Roosevelt wearing a Red Cross uniform, speaking at a small rally, just as the Marines were ordered to leave Guadalcanal an officer found a pilot feeling very sad, looking depressed. He asked what s the matter with you? The pilot said I just can t go home, I haven t shot a Jap. And so the officer said, well listen I ll tell you what to do. You go up to that ridge over there and jump up all of a sudden and say - To hell with Hirohito! And they ll jump up, other people, all around and if you shoot first, you ll get a Jap. So he came by a little while later and the Marine was still looking very gloomy and he said did you do what I told you to do? Yes, sir. I ran up there and I did just as you told me to do. I said To hell with Hirohito and they jumped up just as you told me they would, but they all shouted To hell with Roosevelt!
