Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for December 21, 2015

Good to be able to remember something nice from such a terrible time in one’s life.

My uncle stayed behind in the Phiippinesafter MacArthur left. He is one of the menmentioned in the book " They Were Expendable."

The original house built by the Filipinos and given to the American soldiers was seen in the Gasoline Alley strip for December 22, 1944.

Our home town National Guard company was sent to the Philippines in November 1941. Google “Janesville 99” for their story.

Who loves war? Let’s face it. As evil as it is, it is necessary or we all become slaves.

as a non theist ( i find the term atheist confrontational i am not against anyone’s beliefs ) and as a Quaker-may i respectfully submit the following http://www.jonwatts.com/2014/quakers-believe-that-war-is-not-the-answer/

agree with kenyvon-i dont think any “god” besides Mars ever favored war-and exactly what “history” does barbarion think proves otherwise???

“Maybe you think I am just “squealing and grunting” ……..-——————————————————Same here. I never could understand the ‘anti-war’ mind-set even from the histories of the earliest ‘peaceful’ sorts. What they gonna do when ‘they who are bent on war’ come thundering over the hill to rape and pillage our village? Extend a hand of peace and love? So far, that tactic hasn’t worked.

Was he both in the European and Pacific Theaters during the WW2 Era of the strips?

Evolutism and athests (Mao, Stalin, hitler, polpot, Kim, etc) including Islam has killed more people in 20th century then all centuries combine trying to remove Judeo Christan values and G_d.
