She's kinda cute tho
Yeah, but do you really want a suicidal shipfu?
>The Japanese planned to commit the entire population of Japan to resisting the invasion, and from June 1945 onward, a propaganda campaign calling for "The Glorious Death of One Hundred Million" commenced. The main message of "The Glorious Death of One Hundred Million" campaign was that it was "glorious to die for the holy emperor of Japan, and every Japanese man, woman, and child should die for the Emperor when the Allies arrived"
>"Hmmm...admit defeat in China and withdraw, or declare war on America and very possibly lose entire empire?"
Japan's mistake was focusing on the Han China heartland in the central-east, when they should have focused more in the Southeast and moved inwards from there and gathering non-Han allies as they kept pushing inward.
still kinda hard to believe USA beat these guys, tamed them, and set them to making jerkoff cartoons for a living
they hired the people experimenting with bioweapons on prisoners of war for themselves
Bucku Bureakingu
motto of Japanese People is "its not my fault".
Japs are deathly afraid of being blamed for fricking up and being "that guy".
Suicide releases them from all that burden.
That kind of attitude also prevents you from learning.
Yea, and now you have a country with a shitty work culture and overall standards to the point of people looking for a way of escapism(anime, gachas, pachinkos etc.) And then also having a demographic crisis that may effect their work force for years to come. Japan always have a "it can't be helped" attitude. They will immediately fold to a problem that they can't ignore(like what happened in the gulf war when the Japanese were being pussies and were basically shunned from the victory party by every nation).
>Japan always have a "it can't be helped" attitude.
thats a Russian saying, though
There's a famous Japanese saying for it too. It mainly ties in to their attitude of how they view problems or things "that can't be helped". Japan kinda has a big "not my problem" attitude because they don't want to stand out or "be that guy" that will have to take the blame or responsibility. The problem also stems to their police too, funny enough.
Japs tried the 'hard road'. Everything hard. Hard discipline. Hard standards. Hard training.
What the Jap culture didn't get, because of it's perpetual isolation, is that hard is brittle and weak.
>the sword was shattered
A 5,000-fold katana, polished to a high sheen and wielded by a warrior more agile than acrobat, is no match for a great mass of Swedish steel, dented, rusted, and perfectly serviceable, weilded by a wildman who is willing to break the rules.
>The 1st rule of war?
>Disobey Orders
Possibly the very gayest post I’ve seen today.
Maybe even this week.
the entire pacific campaign is a good case study in why "Dying for your country" is not a good strategic goal
the entire japanese army ran on a cult of death, and this led to a one-way street where their best troops, aviators, and even officers were all bled out
and they didnt learn a damn thing, with many of the officers who were smart enough to get the hell out of dodge being ostracized for not dying with their peers
meaning you either perform your suicidal and pointless banzai charge or get turned into pariah for surviving until you eventually have a nice day at home
