some unrelated information...

at about 0600 today i was reading this stack of readings for samurai, geisha and yakuza while giving up on my malfunctioned printer and i chanced upon this streak of information:

(told to a U.S. marine unit) "every Jap has been told that it is his duty to die for the Emperor. it is your duty to see that he does."

then i thought of this game called Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault. single player. rarely have games about WW2 been about Japan as the antagonist, it's always about killing German brownshirts, SS, officers, snipers, panzer tanks, shepards.

there was this level, tarawa atoll (last stage) where the US (the player) has captured a strategic stronghold, and the Japs were mounting a last attack. so you stood behind this GPMG and your task was to shoot the Japs who were charging at your positions. with bayonets and samurai swords. only.

of course it would be easy to kill 'em all, but such a scene made me think about the suicidal nature of these soldiers. and the nature of the US marines gunning them down. now it is a game, but imagine how brutal it was back in '45...

ok. slight distraction. get back to work.. haha..
