Who said that Gramps was American?
Heh...
Thanks for another interesting flash PiGPEN! I wonder if people will twig that Gramps isn't U.S., but fought in the Imperial Japanese Army? It clearly states it was in 1939 China - the only ground forces fighting in China at that time were the Japanese and Chinese. It is also plain to me that the enemy are obviously Chinese Troops (Possibly Communist), based on their cold weather equipment. Gramps Comrades committing Seppuku confirms their heritage even more.
It's historically correct enough.
I wonder if there will be a flash-back-flash of Gramps fighting U.S. and British Empire troops as well? Bring it on PiGPEN!
