While various top brass egos differed about how to end the war with Japan, men were dying on land and at sea. Fascinating Read!
"Japanese fighters were terrifying and savage in their hurried conquests.
From early childhood, Japanese youth were brainwashed to believe they were the greatest race, a nation so superior that all bushido fighters would wantonly give their lives for the fatherland. They would endure hardship, sickness, starvation—any pain or agony to achieve the status of a warrior who had fought the enemy—any non-Japanese people. They would follow orders in mokusatsu – silence."
