American soldiers

By World fun lifePublished 3 years ago 4 min read

One day in 1942, an American soldier stationed in Australia went to relieve himself in a nearby grove and picked a few leaves to wipe his ass.

As a result, he was tortured to death by the leaves, and finally shot himself!

Can leaves torture a soldier to death? Small make up here to play with it?

Don't believe me, let's talk about it!

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Americans could not sit still and soon joined the Pacific war. In 1942, under General MacArthur, American troops arrived in Australia and injected the Australians with a tranquilizer.

Although MacArthur had escaped from the Philippines in disgrace, he used his "talent" to make the Australians feel that they were expecting a savior and worshipped him as a god.

But soon after, the Australians found that the discipline of the American army was very poor, and from time to time a girl was coaxed away by them. When she returned, the girl was disheveled and tearful.

As a result, conflict is inevitable, and the US military becomes a street rat in Australia. The people kept away from them and didn't want to provide them with anything.

One day, when Australian residents clashed with the American military police who were keeping order, the Australian soldiers took their side and joined the residents in besieging the Americans, throwing bottles and rocks at them and venting their long-simmering grievances.

The US military police were also not to be messed with. They had rifles and were about to fire when several Australian soldiers snatched them away. Both sides in the fight, only listen to the "bang" sound, I do not know who touched the trigger, the gun accidentally went off, an Australian soldier died on the spot.

At the sound of gunfire, the Australian residents became more anxious, and the crowd gathered more and more. The fight with the American troops lasted for two days.

This conflict is known as the "Battle of Brisbane". Since then, the relationship between the two sides has become increasingly tense, to the point of irreconcilable.

The Japanese heard that it was so happy, they specially made some propaganda pictures. The scenes highlight the American soldiers' love affairs in Australia, in order to drive a wedge between the American troops and the Australians, and to undermine the morale of the Australian troops.

At that time, the American troops in Australia had very little to live on. The local people did not provide them with anything. They had to make their own way.

One day, an American soldier in Australia because of eating careless stomach, went to the nearby grove to relieve himself. Since he didn't have any toilet paper, he pulled off a few leaves and wiped his ass.

Soon after, the soldiers suddenly heard a shot and hurried into the woods. When we found him, he was naked and had shot himself in the head.

This phenomenon made the American soldiers feel very scared, also do not know what happened, so they called experts to check it out. After investigation found that the cause of its suicide, it is a few leaves!

Originally, this kind of tree is called the golden bark tree, its leaves are covered with burrs, once touch the skin, will make you itch, life is worse than death.

Some may not believe it: how can a trained soldier's life be worse than death if it is just a leaf?

The name of the goldenbark tree comes not from the golden color of its bark or leaves, but from the name given to it by a gold prospector.

The plant's leaves have densely serrated edges that can cause severe damage to the surface of human skin through burrs. According to professionals, the pain caused by the golden bark tree to the human body is equivalent to 30 adult wasps stinging the skin at the same time - can normal people bear it?

Later, through experiments, he came to the conclusion that the cut of the golden bark tree was equivalent to soaking the skin in sulfuric acid or sitting in an electric chair. It was a form of torture!

The SAP of the golden bark tree is so painful that people have tried to turn it into a biological weapon.

The American soldier accidentally used it to wipe his bottom, which caused him so much pain that he shot himself.

In fact, the long burr on the golden leaf is also a kind of self-protection, so as not to let themselves be hurt. The American soldier wiped his ass with it, the leaf's instinctive punishment for him.

digression

If the American soldier and the Australian citizen had a good relationship, the soldier might not have had no toilet paper and he might not have died.

Australians thought they were looking forward to salvation. Instead, they got a disaster.

Similar phenomenon happens again and again in Japan, Korea, those poor girls have only their government to blame!
