What a coincidence! It's the 31 st anniversary of this guy's surrender.
Mar 10 1974
Second Lt. Hiroo Onoda of the Imperial Japanese Army surrenders to Philippine authorities. He believed World War II was still underway and continued a 30 year guerrila battle with other islanders. His final capitulation came when his senior officer, Maj. Taniguchi, ordered his surrender. Upon return to the Japanese homeland, Onoda was treated as a hero, but had difficulty coping with his "postwar" life.
I hope we never have to go through another bloodbath like that again. None of us can imagine what it was like and we don't want to know. Our men and their men were tough.
