    People ITT comment like it was just feeding the kitten that caused the influx of marriage proposals, not the fact that this dude is one handsome MF.

      I mean, handsome dude, physically fit enough to go kill, human enough to protect a small creature. It’s not all looks.

      It is looks, don’t get me wrong, but at least you know he might help with the baby and such.

      Not to say it wasn’t bad back then, but I live a pretty comfortable life and nursing a kitten would probably still be the best part of my day.

      No, but he thinks another soldier did. It’s a bit of a grim tale (though that page doesn’t cite its sources, so take this with a grain of salt):

      the kitten was one of two who were orphaned after a soldier shot their mother for “yeowling”. The marine who adopted the other kitten killed it after rolling over on it in his sleep.

      But Praytor’s kitten survived. He fed her on meat from ration cans. After Praytor left her to return home, she became something of a mascot for the company’s public information office. Praytor believed another marine, corporal Conrad Fisher, eventually adopted her and brought her home to the United States.

      Edit: this history enthusiast’s page corroborates the story with a citation of Frank D. Praytor, “The Commandant and the Cat,” The Greybeards 23, no. 3 (May-June 2009): 30-31, 65

            Just so you’re aware, this is about WWII. You know, the war about that European empire that was spreading, and the one where the US didn’t join in until they were attacked by that Asian empire that was spreading.

            Most of the other modern engagements, sure. I agree. Not really this one though. Nazis are kind of bad, you know?

              Korean war according to OP, but still, I agree. The US was unilaterally the good guy here.

        Every soldier is an unfeeling, child eating monster. Humanizing them is bad, we don’t want them to be seen as humans.

          You‘re joking, but humanizing soldiers has got to be one of the best ways of preventing the death spiral that is war.

              Na ja, als junger Deutscher bin ich eben gedanklich bei dem Thema, jetzt wo die Wehrpflicht wieder abgestaubt und eingesetzt wird. Die ist einfach hochgradig sexistisch und sollte in Grund und Boden geklagt werden, falls sie kommt. Junge Frauen sind ja zum Glück nicht gefährdet, die in den Krieg zu schicken würde den ideologischen Konservenhirnen ja nicht mal im Bierzeltsuff einfallen.
