Letter From Bataan

I'll get you, I'll get you!! Oh no, I've run out of ammo!

Question 1:

All-American soldiers Pete and Johnny are fighting on the Pacific island of Bataan in 1944. Pete has bad cramps and Johnny can't see at night due to vitamin deficiency. Pete kicks the bucket almost right away while Johnny.....

	Dies a horrible death after eating the lunch special the next day			Dies a horrible death exclaiming to his wife and kids that 'Pearl Harbor' had the wrong kinds of machine guns in it

	Dies a horrible death, while undergoing an amputation

Question 2:

During WWII, the price of a stamp got you quite a bit. It could send a letter from the island of Bataan all the way back to Anytown, USA. Something else came along with that last letter from Johnny....

	His ghost			His dirty laundry

	His overdue book fines, asking if somebody can pay them for him

Question 3:

As the letter is read aloud, Johnny details shortages and hardships that are putting the troops, and victory in peril. What does Johnny ask of his family, friends, and all of America to do?

	I hope one day someone designs a car that only gets 10 miles per gallon for fuel, and they become hip to own			You've all got to do without things

	Keep buying and buying things, you've got to drive that economy

Question 4:

"Burning rubber is going to mean dead soldiers from now on" Johnny writes. How many car tires did it take during WWII to make one bomber tire?

	Two car tires, so you can still do car tricks on the way to the store			Three car tires, leaving you one good one to drive on

	Five of you car tires, that's all of 'em, pus the spare

Question 5:

Moments after finishing Johnny's letter, more uplifting news arrives. The gang finds out that their man has died in action on Bataan. Something is amiss. The telegram states that Johnny died on the 6th, but when was Johnny's letter home written?

	Johnny wrote his letter on the 7th			Johnny never learned how to write, he liked to send home drawings of what he had been doing, this was a first

	Johnny wrote his letter two years ago, and it only just arrived
