A lot of WW2 vets who had never talked about the war suddenly opened up about it, just a little bit. I had never heard my father talk much about the war, but after that movie he opened up about some of the experiences he'd had in the Phillipine Sea, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and Japan itself as the war was ending. A couple of other vets I knew opened up some too. Not much, but a 100 times more than ever before.</p></blockquote><p></p>
