The shortcomings of the division could be found in the functioning of the headquarters at regimental and division level. The fighting performance of the individual soldier through company level could not be faulted. The commanders and staffs above them were unable to orchestrate the fighting to take full advantage of their soldier's heroism and determination.

As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.

This is the story of two little girls in Okinawa, in May of 1945 AD in the year of our Lord. The first little girl had fled with her pregnant mother, father, two sisters and one brother north from their home in the south to escape the American invasion of the island and it's horrific naval gun fire which obliterated everything.

Terrified by Japanese propaganda that Americans butchered children and raped women and children, the family hid in the mountains of the north with other families, building huts, having them burned down by Americans, living like animals and starving.

The first little girl never knew the second little girl as all she knew of her was hearing her screams one day as she watched two Americans drag her out of her hiding place and then their heads started bobbing up and down. She was 11 years old, so was not sexual, but had heard the reports of what was done to females by Americans, and she knew the other girl was being raped.

Due to the time of this rape, we know that the Marines in the invasion of Okinawa, had been replaced in that time period, by the 27th Infantry, a National Guard Unit deployed from New York state.

The Lame Cherry in being a pioneer of the field of forensic psychology, can reverse engineer what these two soldiers were engaged in. The 27th had fought on Saipan and other islands. These two soldiers were not simply out on patrol that day in the mountains of Okinawa, they had discovered each other like serial murderers earlier in the New York deployment. They fed off of each other and became a rape team. This was not the first innocent young girl they had raped. There would be a number of raped girls in their "scouting".

There would be a pattern in this. These two soldiers would "volunteer or disappear" from camp to scout or patrol or enjoy the surroundings. Their mission was though to find a child to rape and in this case there was an absolute eye witness to the crime, all under the employment of Uncle Sam and the State of New York.

The 27th would leave Okinawa and deploy to the Japanese mainland for occupation duty after August 1945 AD in the year of our Lord. The rapes of this duo would continue in Japan. The 27th would return to the United States, New York, in 1947, and with a rewarding GI bill, full medical coverage these two rapists would have been released back into the American population in the New York area, where the reality is, they probably scouted and hunted American women, most likely at bars where the intoxicated women were followed and made easy prey.

This duo certainly could have graduated to serial rapists and murderers, or in time married, whereby their heroic husbands and daddy's would recite how brave they were in World War II against the Japs and in time degrade their wives and daughters as "sluts who just wanted it" and tell their sons that "women only want one thing as that is why they dress like whores".

There were two New York males in the New York National Guard, 27th Infantry who were serial rapists in 1945 in the South Pacific. These fiends survived the war, returned to America, and America paid them a great deal of benefits all of their lives, instead of sending them to Fort Leavenworth Kansas for mass rape.

Somewhere in the thousands of New York males of the 27th in this period, knew what these two rapists were engaged in. These two made comments about Asians deserving it for Pearl Harbor and those who heard it, agreed, and pretended to forget as New York peer pressure was not going to complain to Sergeant or Officer or they would be labeled a "Jap lover".

Like all National Guard units, the 27th was a detriment to the military. Their officers were recorded as incompetent in coordinating firepower, even if their soldiers were competent at fighting and rape.

While all of these New York males are probably dead, there still are probably children alive who heard something from their fathers, "about some guys who taught the Asians how to bow by rape".

If the Lame Cherry had the time, I would obtain the list of every one of the soldiers from New York, and that list could be narrowed down to the area where the surviving young Okinawan girl was in her family's hiding.

Someone still knows something and this does not rest with these two rapists in hell. For now there is this fine American history that sits with the men of New York.

On 25 March 1945, the 27th sailed from Espiritu Santo, arriving at Okinawa, 9 April 1945. The Division participated in the XXIV Corps general attack, 19 April 1945, securing a dominating ridge line south of Machinato and Kakazu. Machinato Airfield was captured, 28 April, after a severe struggle. On 1 May, the Division was relieved by the 1st Marine Division and attached to the Island Command for garrison duty. Tori Shima was seized, 12 May, without opposition. The 27th attacked from the south end of Ishikawa Isthmus to sweep the northern sector of Okinawa. The enemy fought bitterly on Onnatake Hill from 23 May until 2 June, before losing the strong point. After a mopping-up period, the Division left Okinawa, 7 September 1945, moved to Japan and occupied Niigata and Fukushima Prefectures.

The 27th DIVARTY, minus the 249th FA Bn, was attached to the Marines. The 27th moved to the northern end of the island to eliminate remaining pockets of resistance.

From 2 May until 30 June 1945 the 27th mopped up the northern half of the island. There were countless enemy caves and fighting positions uncovered and still hundreds of Japanese willing to resist. The division fought several pitched battles against well organized company sized units. In the end the 27th had killed 507 enemy soldiers, captured 118 and interned 34,739 civilians. The division remained on Okinawa until late August, after the War with Japan had ended, and then moved to Japan for occupation duty.

Instead of scripted propaganda on Youtube, it would be fitting to examine the 27th Infantry Division of New York in their raping children.
