My Thoughts regarding Guadalcanal

In response to what young marines teach each other, I believe that they for the most part teach each other to be strong and survive. Although they might be stealing the supplies from the army, they manage to aquire much needed or desired supplies to be able to get through staying on the island. By joking around and making hysterical commentary, the marines have a sense of normality during a though and exhausting campaign on Guadalcanal. So they teach each other to have some sanity, and watching over one another can create some comfort. For the month that they're on Guadalcanal they all become experienced in the Japanese's tactics, and together these young marines find the strength to overcome the many battles to come.
