Hiroo Onada - Have a clue?

Without looking, do you know who or what Hiroo Onada is? If you don't, I bet you'll find it interesting to research on.

I'm gonna say she dresses in really tight skimpy outfits, wears platform shoes, and colors her hair bright pink. Really big entertainer in Japan.

I'm gonna say when you find out, you're gonna say "ewwwwwwwwwww".

Second to last Japanese soldier to surrender after the close of WWII according to Wiki.

Surrender? Not hari kiri? Dishonorable.

He was ordered to do so by his superior officer.

Very interesting read.

I have great respect for those with honor and discipline. Both seem to be fleeting ideals in the world we line in today. That is a shame.

Glad to have read this today.

I hear you, but that's the kind of discipline that got a lot of Jews killed. Absolute unquestioning loyalty to superior officers??

So why are we thinking about him today?

I heard of him on a "what you didn't learn in history podcast" and thought the gang would find it interesting. I'm discovering "podcasts" and enjoy history to begin with.....
