More from Letters from Iwo Jima
Lieutenant Colonel Oiso We will make a run for Motoyama. There is no cover for 2 kilometers, it will be every man for himself. See you on the other side. If not on this earth, then in the next world.
Saigo Why are you always messing with me. It's got to be a joke! [An Allied shell lands right next to him, knocking him over. He sees the shell is a dud] Thank you, God! I take back what I said!
Saigo We can die here, or we can continue fighting. Which would better serve the emperor?
