“Don't Just Kill Them, Murder Em,” was a motto heard by my father, 1st Scout Pfc. William A. Wilch, during fighting in WWII. Given after harrowing combat action, to encourage him to have no remorse for killing their enemy. Spoken by 2nd Scout Pfc. Burton E. Burfeind, who added Wilch's squad nickname to drive home his point, “Shoot Pee Wee, Just Shoot.” Wilch found Burfeind's strategy kept them from being killed or captured, time after time on missions.Wilch's accounts of these actions, are described in fine detail from start to finish, with a backstory theme of love.
