This combination of photos shows Norman Baker, left, of Delaplane, Va. in Iwo Jima on March 21, 2015 and Yoshiko Shimabukuro, a former member of the Himeyuri Student Nurse Corps, in Itoman, Japan, on March 22, 2015. In Bakers mind, the Japanese were fanatical, brutal animals with no respect for life. To Shimabukuro, Americans were long-nosed demons who rained hellfire from the skies before raping and pillaging anything with the worse-than-death fate of crossing their path. Seventy years ago, both the 18-year-old U.S. Marine and the 17-year-old Okinawan schoolgirl had known the enemy only from the virulent propaganda they had been fed.
