Wow, someone was just telling me about that book today in shul. He mentioned about President Bush (GHW) surviving. Have you seen the footage on Breitbart of the Japanese rounding up thousands of dolphins and butchering them? I’m by no means comparing men to dolphins, but the Japanese fishermen's angry defiance and inhumane attitude toward this slaughter is a sign of a moral corruption in those who would perpetrate such an act.

Yes, Bush was hit while dive bombing Ichi Jima and his crew jumped out while he tried to see if he could save the plane. They were captured by the Japanese and later killed and cannabilized.

His plane crashed and the other pilots prevented the Japanese from coming out in boats to capture him and he was picked up by a submarine sometime later.

About the cruelty of the Japanese, one thing the book points out is the rigged top down structure of the Japanese military. You could not disobey an order or the penalty was death. Immediate death.That is part of what kept the whole thing going.

Whether there is some inherent cruelty in the Japanese culture, I do not know. But rigid and cruel regimes who tolerate no insubordination have a pretty good track record for cruelty and genocide.

It is indeed fitting that Bush the President later barfs on the Jap PM.
