Now that’s a bitter clinger.
I remember the photo of Lt. Onoda surrendering his sword to his original commanding officer after the latter had persuaded him that the order to do so came directly from the (still original) Emperor.
Onoda emigrated to Brazil & there was another photo of the still youthful diehard doing the samba with local Rio girls. He later set up a Japanese colony in the Brazilian outback, IIRC. An interesting life.
