I think that it's defeat is seen as more of an embarrassment to them and not an acknowledgement of wrongdoing.
I'm curious to see what becomes of Japan as the population increases and space gets to be an issue. |
I think you hit the nail there....when a person commits suicide instead of accepting defeat and willing to drag an entire country down with it is a pretty intense belief system.I liken it to the intensity of the Muslims now a days who will go down to the last...throwing all in no matter the cost.
The shame of defeat is what can not be boure it seems...I wonder if the story would be told accuratley if they would have drove the infidel Americans into oblivion?...I think so.
A quote from my favorite movie Glory...."Ain't nobody clean....Be nice to get clean....how do we do that?...we anni up and kick in like men!"
