European mindset vs Asian mindset.
Two very different animals. The Asian mindset is an ancient one that most of us don’t understand.
It reminds me of the Masada. It matters not if they committed suicide or were slaughtered. Some people do not have surrender in their vocabulary....or know what that means.
After reading the comments by Ike, I can see that you might concur. But Ike dealt with a completely different situation.
I would argue not so different from where I stand. There are some things that I will not put up with. If they were to happen I can see making the same choice as they did and choosing to die rather than live in such a world.
