In this video:
Hiroo Onoda is a Japanese citizen that originally worked at a Chinese trading company. When he was 20 years old, he was called to join the Japanese army. He promptly quit his job and headed off to training in Japan. At a certain point in his training, he was chosen to be trained at Nakano School as an Imperial Army Intelligence Officer. In this specialized military intelligence training, he was specifically taught methods of gathering intelligence and how to conduct guerrilla warfare. He was being groomed to go in behind enemy lines and be left with small pockets of soldiers to make life miserable for Japan’s enemies and gather intelligence in the process.

I don't think its a matter of intelligence gathering. But rather verifying that intelligence. Imagine you're one of these soldiers, with no frame of reference with respect to atomic weapons. The info you gather claims that your adversary wiped out whole cities with a single deployment of said weapon. Based on the soldier's existing knowledge of military armaments they would think that unfathomable and dismiss it out of hand as some form of propaganda. Just sheer disbelief.

[@AMGmy17]

Vester Rawlins i think he was actually smart. Its just that his ignorance is too big that made him mad

Vester Rawlins When you consider their devotion to their cause, the years spent toiling in relative isolation and how suspicion and paranoia would scew their perspective on things, I find it little surprise that they continued for so long.

[@johnbockelie3899]

1974, the year comedian Bud Abbott died.( Costello died in late 50's)

[@Gottaculat]

Refining metal, making molds, and making gunpowder isn't particularly hard to do, but what would be very difficult is making primers, reshaping the brass, and properly seating the bullets without proper reloading dies. Of course, it's possible to steal such items, especially in agricultural areas, and I'd bet these guys had been pretty well stocked to begin with. Guerilla warfare doesn't require much ammo, as all you need to do is fire a shot or two every now and then. They probably had a few thousand rounds of ammo, but even if it was just 1,000 rounds, you could stretch that out over 29 years pretty easily assuming you store them properly.

[@lightotw]

Probably just conserved it. Bolt action rifle and using it only when really needed. It's like hunting versus trips to the range. The range will go through ammo because you're just shooting for fun. With hunting, a good hunter can make a single box last 20 hunting seasons.

Probably because no one ordered him. It would not have been his job to personally recall every soldier he ever commanded, and it was no his place to inquire. This was the greatest war Japan has ever fought, and that it had ever lost. Most of their army was wiped out, and when they came home it was to two major cities and tens of thousands literally gone, wiped off the face of the earth. It's not like the Japanese didn't try, and its not surprising that no one thought he would only answer to his old commander. You have to respect the man for dropping everything and risking his life after 30 years to find him and talk to him.

These encounters have been in various locations but not even the locals can climb the mountain due to extreme climatic conditions which makes it unconquerable. Once an American expedition team made up mind to conquer it but they failed and later many other mountaineers tried it too but it remains unclimbed just like the Mountains of Kailash. Once the yeti was sighted very close to a village area (around30kms away) by two hunters who describes it to be hairy like a bear but huge and not exactly walking on all four legs. One of those hunters died after a week and the other dies after few months.some mountaineers believe it could be a type of rare and endangered species of bear. Local people here call it Grephu and they believes it to be a terrifying humanoid figure and connects many mythology and legends with the creature. Nonetheless no one has exactly lived to tell the tale after those encounter of that mythical figure/ endangered bear/Grephu or whatsoever . I hope this helps
