Japenese SER units

[Matt W]

They built the entrenchments, dug the caves and leveled the airfields. When the Americans came they were given rifles and hand grenades and told to take as many Americans with them as they could. Considering the lack of training they actually "performed" well if you look at it from the Japanese point of view. They absorbed losses and forced the Americans to have to pay attention to them, often at the expense of paying attention to forces that were effective, to the Americans' detriment.
