Body count edit
Forrest Bryant Johnson, in his book Phantom Warrior: The Heroic True Story of Pvt. John McKinney's One-Man Stand Against the Japanese in World War II, describes the battle in enormous detail. He suggests that McKinney killed well over 100 enemy soldiers, but that his commanding officer reduced the number so as not to be accused of exaggeration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.22.72.125 (talk) 19:20, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- Another reason given was that a large number of the Japanese bodies had floated away, as the assault was across a sandbar between a river and a bay. These bodies count not be counted. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 15:15, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
