G L Cleaver Thwarts Jap Raider in Southwest Theater
Staff Sergeant Joke D Joba of Sylvania Georgia reports a Fifth Air Force incident where an armed Japanese raider was confronted by an American with a meat cleaver inside a supply area. The attacker fled after being threatened with the improvised weapon, leaving Johnson with a personal grudge and a shirt kept as a trophy. The account reflects wartime bravado and harsh sentiment toward the enemy in camp life.
