Okay, 'myth' = 'only 10% of the people died.'
Revisionism FTW.

Yes. Myth is a few people dying. Hell more americans are killed on a slow weekend in chicago than in bataan "death" march.
"100–650 American prisoners of war died on the march before they reached their destination."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bataan_Death_March
I'm not saying the march didn't happen. I'm just saying that the propaganda surrounding the bataan "death" march is a myth. Growing up, you'd think it was worst thing in the world. But then you learn that hardly any americans died and that those americans who died were invaders/colonizers of the philiphines themselves and just as evil as the japanese invaders. That's what I'm getting at.
> There are people who say the German concentration camps were 'myths' too.
Okay? What does that have to do with what is being discussed?
