KARMIC, I GUESS

Blog number 277 **** 09 February 2009

This marine who fought at Iwo Jima said, "And the Japanese seemed like they were never, ever taught not to say anything. Once they get captured, they just talk. They just talk, talk, talk. They'll tell you almost anything. And then you question them and they'll tell you about the tunnels and everything."

I think it is probably true that the Japanese soldiers and seamen were never taught not to talk when captured, because it was assumed that none of them ever would be captured, so why waste training time on nonsense?
