Default [B]Japanese snipers on Okinawa 1945[/B]

My father was a Navy medical Corpsman at the battle of Okinawa in 1945. He said that the troops he was attached too surrounded a group of Japanese snipers hidden in tall grass. So instead of risking getting plugged by the snipers, the soldiers sent in dogs to get them. He said that they tried to shoot some of the dogs and blew one up with a grenade, but the dogs got the best of them and my father said you could hear the Jap soldiers yelling.
