picture yourself as a soldier who thinks he's still fighting a world war only to discover it ended decades ago

some were found in the 80's alive and kicking ;D

I would imagine there still are a few left alive on some of the remote Pacific Islands although they will be at least 85 years old now.

The typical Japanese soldier fought with the belief that it was impossible for them to loose. They expected to run into some very hard battles, but always with the belief that Japan would emerge victorious. Can you imagine living in the Jungle for 60+ years with no contact of your people and still being able to believe your country would emerge victorious.

What a world this could be if all of us who use the name of Muslim had that much faith in Islam.

these soldiers were also fed with the Japanese people and the Japanese Nation being superior to other groups and nations in Asia propaganda during their conquests

the culture shock these soldiers who came out after decades must have been a hell of an experience for them :giggling:

i agree if the leaders who claim they are muslims had the same loyalty for Islam and it's followers as the Japanese had for their Emperor and superior officers we probably wouldn't be in this mess we are today imsad

Ps i read a long time ago about a Japanese Samurai who wanted to battle but couldn't find anything in Japan that would satisfy him so he went to Afghanistan and fought along side the Mujahideen during the Soviet invasion just so he could know how it felt to kill a person with his bare hands ;D Whoa crazy
