I have been slowly grinding my way through this Ian Toll book about the War in the Pacific (Twilight of the Gods). I mentioned it before. So, another religious reference which might be amusing to all.
The Kamikaze attacks on the US task forces covering the landings on Okinawa were incredibly persistent and deadly. They had been almost a constant state of danger for the naval forces since Mid-March and by mid May 1945 everyone was at their physical, emotional and psychological limits. Toll, describes exactly how fatigued and stressed the crews of aircraft and AA batteries were by the second month of this. Apparently Admiral Jocko Clark of TF 58.1 was so weary of the strain on the air crew that he sent this out to the crews of his TF "see Hebrews chapter 13, verse 8"
I snorted when I read that. Good profane use of language to describe the situation.
