"I've heard about that. The Japanese are bad, I hate them," Taylor said.
"I served in the Marines. After the war broke out with Japan, I fought in many battles and killed over thirty Japanese soldiers with my own hands," Hardy explained.
Taylor was astonished at Hardy's admission of killing over thirty people.
"Were you scared during battles?" Taylor asked.
"At first, yes. But once the fighting starts, fear fades away. Seeing my comrades fall around me, I only wanted to avenge them," Hardy said.
"Have you been wounded?" Taylor asked again.
"Of course, many times. The most serious was last year during the battle in Iwo Jima. It was intense; over 30,000 Americans were killed or wounded. I was shot through the chest." Hardy pointed to his chest.
Taylor's eyes widened upon hearing that.
