Lt. Onoda’s “unit” on Lubang Island contained multiple men as late as 1972. They got caught up in a firefight with the local constabulary, and one of Onoda’s men was killed. Previously Onoda and his men on Lubang had been written off as dead; this firefight renewed the push by the Japanese government to call their holdouts back from the jungle.
End of the thread and no one mentioned the Gilligan’s Island episode. Maybe I’m getting old.
