This from a country that has more than once sent out fishing boats who’s crews starve to death rather than return to port with less than their quota.
Is that why they found all those dead soldiers dressed as fishermen floating on boats in the sea of Japan? Wow.
If they starved, they certainly weren’t very good at fishing.
Gee, if they have a boat, and they’re going to be killed if they go back, or starve if they stay at sea, I would think the logical choice would be to sail to another country.
I guess they’re too brainwashed to see that as a viable possibility.
