This movie I saw that was a documentary based on this guy who fought in World War II. All I can remember about it are 2 things: 1. They mentioned he was kind of a troublemaker as a kid. 2. At one point he got put in a Japanese prison camp and there was this one guard nicknamed The Bird who beat him up a lot.
