[@christschool]

I can't believe that this monster still generates interest and fascination to this day. What Onoda doesn't include in his writings but which has been revealed in personal stories and interviews is that as early as 1950 he was fully aware that the war was over but loved killing too much. He has revealed that since the war was over civilians would be less wary and would become easy targets. And indeed, they were. He would sneak into a village at night and cut the throats of sleeping children. He also would take pot shots of mothers hanging their clothes on clothes lines or feeding their chickens. He calls himself the ultimate soldier and yet he killed the defenseless over and over. And when he finally tired of having to kill his own food (more often than not he would steal it from the mouths of needy children) he went home to a hero's applause. Why Japan would accept him and laud his "heroic" efforts instead of turning him over to Phillipine authorities as a not only a war criminal but more accurately a serial killer is simply unexplainable.

[@keran10]

Fuck Will Yours is an old comment but thought I'd respond and provide context. As a Filipino, I'm aware of the brutal and barbaric attacks done to Filipinos during the Japanese occupation. But I think I understand and can relate to OP's sentiment especially when one contrasts Filipino nationalism (or lack thereof) to those of the Japanese. Our country has been under 3 colonizers that it is said we've lost our sense of identity as a people, that's why it's no surprise to see turncoats in our politics or just people having no shame which has been detrimental to our country. So I too am in awe/inspired with such expression of loyalty to one's country but definitely not forgetting their cruelty.

[@malcolmx6044]

USA is terrorizing the rest of the world with its nuclear weapons and in the same time preaching human rights History books should teach the new generation that usa is threat to the rest of the world. And this is why the rest of the world is shifting to China because they became super power without firing one bullet The Chinese are using soft power and this is why they are unstoppable. People all over the world are replacing anything American with the Chinese alternative because they don't want to feed the beast that some day will attack their innocent children like in Vietnam and Iraq The US days as super power are numbered . They spent 3 trillion dollars on wars instead of spreading peace . The last war the American fought and won was in 1945 with the help of the allies It's the fear that brings the Americans togather and this is why uncle Sam can't survive without an enemy and when they can't find one they have to create one There are no anti Americans in the world but there are millions of anti foreign American policy and I m one of them and even if I was in the US I would say that because its my right as human being to exercise the freedom speech The foreign policy is costing Americans billions of dollars which should be spent to improve the lives of the Americans and make the world better place. The Chinese infrastructure is way better compared to its American counterpart . And if you think that us is the best country in the world you are missing the statistics

I’m glad to know there’s an honest person like you. Some people say “ US nuked Japan to save more lives and it was a humanity act” I hate to hear that excuse kind of stuff. Because I feel US don’t have to make excuses and we Japanese aren’t asking for excuses either and won’t blame about using an Abomb. Japan fought its guts out. We gave everything for the victory but we lost. US beat the hell out of us. We even went Kamikaze so If we had nuclear weapon ,no doubt we would have used it. Both tried to destroy each other & kill many as you can. Goal is to make the enemy surrender. You need to let the enemy loose it’s will to fight. The best plan was the Abomb. Also it was the 1st time using Abomb in a battle. I think no one was sure what will bring. Loosing means death for Japanese and don’t weaping about the fight is a shame.

Honestly, I see his story as a tragic one, more than anything. His dedication and zeal were great, but they were instilled in him by and for a racist and authoritarian system. He wasted decades of his life separated from his family, hiding in the jungle, attacking innocent civilians... Why? Because a system that viewed him as disposable taught him that death was preferable to surrender, that the system was infallible and could not be defeated. He believed fully in the indoctrination, and because of it, he wasted decades and hurt people in service of a regime that had already stopped existing.
