The Japanese are not looting because they are a solidified united culture.

An alien concept here, and a factor that made them such a formidable adversary.

How about Italy? Same? (hmm... now that I think of it, maybe Italy's not such a good example as I heard it was once a bunch of different little countries)

Yet they were ultimately beaten by that same uniformity.

Commanders were constrained by their rigidity and adherence to structure and form that their American counterparts did not have to such a degree.

Certain actions and independence of thought were alien to them.

I think I’ll take Heiniken man wading thru the flood versus thirsty people eschewing water bottles floating nearby.
