-
And our supplies, food
-
and most of our reanimation went down with it.
-
By September of 1942,
-
the marines had been left to fight the battle for Guadalcanal alone.
-
They weren't vastly under supply.
-
And many were on the verge of starvation.
-
We knew that our navy had left and that
-
the Japanese had controled the sea.
-
And they can supply their troops,
-
and we could... we couldn't.
-
With thousand of Janpanese reinforcements pouring onto the island...
-
The marines were strafed and bombed continuously.
