During the island hopping tactic against Japan of the US military
during WWII, soldiers were transported from ships to the island
shores.  During the subsequent fierce battles many men would die.

According to rumor, before any island invasion, the naval personnel
of the ships would hold gambling bets, similar to horse races, on
which men would die and which men would live.

I am unable to find any online information attesting to the
veracity of this gambling.

Can you?

For once, shut your fat, incompetent mouths and do a search
for the above.

Those who provide functional and good links will be handsomely
rewarded.
