No. If past incidents are any example, they will be cleaned up, fixed up by the medics, issued new replicas of their original period uniforms, and flown to Japan, where the Emperor will order them to surrender. The surrender will be taken by the highest ranking US officer in Japan, and that will be pretty much it.

If true, they followed their last orders (go guerilla, resist the Americans, fight on for the Emperor) for over 50 years. They will be treated with honor and dignity by our military throughout the process. Remember, these are Japan's MIAs.

Doubt you would find any French still hold up.

Or, they may just want to stay and die down there.

They won't know many people if they return to Nippon.

Yes, and the example they provide of fidelity to Duty, Honor, and Country, should be highly respected.

Thank you for the fascinating information. I had no idea that their surrender would be that formal.
