I was stationed on Okinawa at White Beach in '66. The gun caves, bunkers and pillboxes were just too tempting for young GI's, even though at orientation we were threatened with automatic Art 15 for souvenir hunting or exploring. Short story, those holes were inhabited by large populations of "habu" pit vipers. I found out the rumors about the habu were true, they are very aggressive and do come after you, ignoring your bamboo snake stick. No souvenirs, but saw enough old ordnance to put a full stop on exploring. I cannot imagine the task of rooting the Japs out of those holes. Better man than I Gunga Din.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
