No, but he thinks another soldier did. It's a bit of a grim tale (though that page doesn't cite its sources, so take this with a grain of salt):
the kitten was one of two who were orphaned after a soldier shot their mother for “yeowling”. The marine who adopted the other kitten killed it after rolling over on it in his sleep.
But Praytor’s kitten survived. He fed her on meat from ration cans. After Praytor left her to return home, she became something of a mascot for the company’s public information office. Praytor believed another marine, corporal Conrad Fisher, eventually adopted her and brought her home to the United States.

Just so you're aware, this is about WWII. You know, the war about that European empire that was spreading, and the one where the US didn't join in until they were attacked by that Asian empire that was spreading.
Most of the other modern engagements, sure. I agree. Not really this one though. Nazis are kind of bad, you know?
It's mother was shot by another person so He and another adopted the two orphaned kittens. One died uhhh in it's sleep let's say and the other survived.
Ladies, FYI, I have also been known to feed kittens.

I'm so hot for you right now
Feed them to what?
I like to milk the pussies too!

People ITT comment like it was just feeding the kitten that caused the influx of marriage proposals, not the fact that this dude is one handsome MF.
I mean, handsome dude, physically fit enough to go kill, human enough to protect a small creature. It's not all looks.
It is looks, don't get me wrong, but at least you know he might help with the baby and such.
Or maybe they were worried about flooding and wanted a connection to his sandbag guy.
"I want him to break both my hips, split my asshole down the middle and fill my guts with his thick military daddy CUM SIR I NEED IT" ~everyone
I mean, how can you not feed a kitten? It was probably the best part of his day.
you have to make it piss and shit too, and you need to do it every few hours
You sure? I mean, it's hard to top raping and murdering civilians on the fun scala of a US soldier.
default stance: mad
Who let the tankies in?
I am primarily an anarchist.
How would that work exactly? Anarchy I mean
If it's ww2 it's a bit different
Edit: isn't never mind
Did he bring her back to the US after the war ended?

The fuck is wrong with you?
Reality.
All I see is a man tenderly caring for a vulnerable, fresh-born living being. A glimmer of hope for humanity.
imagine waking up and being this hateful by default.

Not that i agree with the guy picking a fight but it literally said korean War in the picture
Korean war according to OP, but still, I agree. The US was unilaterally the good guy here.
Who shit in your cheerios this morning?
And he is connected to the Korean War?
Every soldier is an unfeeling, child eating monster. Humanizing them is bad, we don't want them to be seen as humans.
You‘re joking, but humanizing soldiers has got to be one of the best ways of preventing the death spiral that is war.
Glad you recognized the sarcasm
You know it this soldier was drafted? He may not have had a choice in the matter
He died in 2018 at 90 and Mis Hap apparently went on to have a good life. Article about him.

good comment.
Just shows how fucking low the bar was back then.
Not to say it wasn't bad back then, but I live a pretty comfortable life and nursing a kitten would probably still be the best part of my day.
I meant for marriageable material for a woman.
oh ok
Miss Hap 🥹
Who the hell brings a kitten to a warzone?!
Who the hell brings a war zone to a kitten?
Asking the right question
Wars are often fought in places where humans live. Cats often live in places where humans live. Does that resolve your confusion?
You're saying cats cause human wars?
Yes. Catgirl supremacy.
He probably found it there lol.
Kitten looks very new born. He likely found it there and decided to take care of it.
No, no, he clearly adopted a newborn kitten and immediately took it with him to Korea. As one does.
It's mother was shot by another person so He and another adopted the two orphaned kittens. One died uhhh in it's sleep let's say and the other survived.
The mother cats who were already there
Did you ask this about the children dying in Gaza?
He refused to leave home without it and the army was like "oh well, what are you gonna do?"
People at war with ancient egypt. Can't harm cats, they're sacred. Boom, checkmate!
