Dammit, they specified in the article where the site is located. Hope there's some cordoning-off happening there right now.

You shoulda read the whole article. Last paragraph.


/QUOTE]Freeman said they are working with respective governments to repatriate the fallen solders and preserve the site in its “current pristine condition." Until then, no groups will be permitted to trek the site

Gosh...what a treasure chest and simply amazing find! After all these years covered 60 miles deep in the jungle. The question is....do the Japanese have the right of way in collecting the remains and material? I would say yes.

I would say no. Imperial Japan caused the murder and suffering of millions of people over the pacific. Imperial Japan was there in part of their failed conquest of half the world.

So why should Japan have the right of having these what were, barbarians sent home. These soilders did not care for human life. Imperial Japan soldiers beheaded POWs, and enslaved POWs and the conquered populations to help garrison their war machine.

I have no sympathy for the aggressor, and I am glad they rotted where they were fell for 70 years.
