Bataan Death March
I thought that the presentation over the Bataan Death March was very informative and I learned much more than I had known previously. However I do not think that even if Japan had signed the Geneva Convention that this event would not have occured. Still it is impossible to manage walking sixty five miles with no food or water. Then to throw in the climate and the surroundings that they had to endure. And then to add to that, the Japanese troops were shooting stragglers. I would like to know the conditions of the prison camp that they were walking to and what the mortality rate was at the POW camp as well.
