Is it bogus? the video is all edited-out, it's hard to beleive videos like these.

I'd take any youtube clip promoting shocking unseen historical footage with a dose of salt. That's not to say there aren't legitimate historical youtube clips, but there are a lot of nutters out there with a personal agenda on all points of the political map.
I believe Mush Morton was involved in one very serious incident of gunning down shipwrecked men in small boats, believing them Japanese troops bound for New Guinea. In sad fact, they were mainly Indian POWs of 2nd Battalion, 16th Punjab Regiment, plus escorting forces from the 26th Field Ordnance Depot. I don't think anyone filmed it though.
