. . . the Japanese wasnt dead. He had been wounded severely in the back and couldnt move his arms; otherwise he would have resisted to his last breath. The Japaneses mouth glowed with huge gold-crowned teeth, and his captor wanted them. He put the point of his knife on the base of a tooth and hit the handle with the palm of his hand. Because the Japanese was kicking his feet and thrashing about, the knife point glanced off the tooth and sank deeply into the victims mouth. The Marine cursed him and with a slash cut his cheeks open to each ear. He put his foot on the sufferers lower jaw and tried again. Blood poured out of the soldiers mouth. He made a gurgling noise and thrashed wildly. I shouted, Put the man out of his misery. All I got for an answer was a cussing out. Another Marine ran up, put a bullet in the enemy soldiers brain, and ended his agony. The scavenger grumbled and continued extracting his prizes undisturbed.
