Letters From Iwo Jima-Suicide Scene

I can relate, everytime my wife invites her parents to our house for some days

😢Reddit user goes to shill for Ukraine and hamas

This is one of the reasons they lost
You can replace equipment but not men whit experience

Where’s your Tojo now?

The guy who least wanted to die was the first one to rise up to praise the glorious Emperor who didn't care about him at all.

今の若者は間違いなく
国の為に死ぬなんてしないだろう。

Choosing when you die is more cowardly then anything else ironic

Die for the Emperor, the Fuher,Putin the XI, Trump......Religion..... The world's over-populated anyway...more room for me!

They should have just shot the officer and surrendered.

All you had to do was surrender.
Now look at ya

Peer pressure is a BITCH!

Be right there with ya. Just gotta go and... unplug the vacuum real quick.

Me and the boys when the group chat is leaked

I’ve seen an interview of one of the few IJA soldiers that survived. I don’t recall him saying anything about suicide (maybe he did) but the experience (super hot, always thirsty and no water, no food, death everywhere etc.) was just awful. I don’t think I would ever be the same person even if I survived. Writing this I remembered a Japanese film called Nobi (Fires on the Plain). It’s not a good movie per se but it’s based off a book about a former soldier’s experience in the Philippines. It’s been remade twice and famous for the raw depiction of the horrendous dehumanizing experience of Japanese forces during WW2.

This shit is retarded

Wouldn't they have served their country in a much better manner had they have taked their rifle snd grenades outdide of this cave and looked for some United States soldiers to engage with and fight it out? However, I am certain the U.S. soldiers would have been grateful to know that these bozos chose to take their own lives.

Fake

Me and the boys

This is a sad scene indeed to take your life in the honourable Japanese warrior way (whatever its called) and you can see that some obviously didn’t want too but had to anyways

But also this scene reminds me of flags of our fathers when they come across the one cave where the japanese soldiers took their lives

Pin infra Batista

Ometra envy

Very nice, that you say i the description, that you dont have the right about the movie, and want to give credits to the creator, how is it to write his name or the name from the studio in the description?

Thats the only way to give credits, you just steal work from others and you dont give credits, when you dont call his name.

Idi*t

Those generations were made of the bravest people

If they’re going to die why don’t they go out fighting?

My late uncle was an infantryman in the 96th Division on Okinawa and told my dad of an incident that should have killed him, but he survived. Uncle's company was spread out moving through some tall grass as they carefully looked for the enemy. My uncle said as he took a step, the soil felt spongy, and his step was immediately followed by a blast that threw him backwards. He was covered with blood and bits of tissue. Fellow soldiers rushed to him, thinking he was wounded. As it turned out, aside from ringing ears and being shaken up, he was whole and uninjured. What the soldiers found was a Japanese soldier in a camoflauged foxhole who apparently detonated a grenade under his chin, blowing off his head and helmet. As to why the fragments didn't hit my uncle, they figured the enemy's helmet and the material covering the foxhole deflected and absorbed some of the blast. My uncle survived the Battle of Okinawa and was one of the few men in his company who made it through without being wounded or killed. The fighting was so bad, the above story was the only battle incident he would discuss after the war with my dad, who was also a soldier.

So basically, they raged quit... how pathetic 😅

Morons

All of this cuz they really thought that the Emperor was a God😮😮

The only appropriate time to frag your senior officer

i guess it was a better death than with your mini sword

uhhh whats the lesson here?

Sorry to tell you but dying by suicide is not an honorable death. An honorable death is fighting until you literally cannot because you are dead. Now THAT is honorable. This is not. Didnt even have the balls to die by those they attacked in the first place.

They did that to my people too.

We haven’t forgotten.

How about instead of killing themselves why not just fight to the last man 🤔

I will never understand the logic of this sort of suicide. A kamikaze or a banzai attack may have been largely strategically unsuccessful but at least had the goal of inflicting damage to their enemy, which seems far more honorable than essentially giving up. This act was just completely pointless to their war effort.

Then the Americans banged their daughter in the arsehole

“Don’t ever forget that” dies 2 mins later.

Japan😂😂😂😂

This is the greatest Japanese World War Two movie ever made------by an American!

The Jap were(still are) a honourable, brave, and ruthless force during the Second World War.

However one thing I personally believe is that though they never barely retreated and would charge into a losing battle (mainly at command of rank)

If they would only tend to completely fallback and regroup for a counter offensive like the allies did during fighting overwhelming numbers, it would probably made them a more formidable opponent instead of charging young brave boys into MG fire.

I guess I would have thought it would be better for them to charge at the Americans with their grenades and try and inflict as much damage as they could before being taken out. This approach seems to make life easier for their enemy.

US, UK, and France were mistaken to fight against the Axis. Germany and Japan were forces of good, protecting western and Japanese civilizations against subhuman evil. What a tragic loss.

Inspiring speech, almost made me commit suicide my self.

My Dad lived 55 years 10 days with shrapnel still in him from a Japanese grenade... from the battle of BUNA GONA SANANANDA DEC 5 1942...
Miss you Pop....

Fuck killing yourself in the name of that limp dicked "emperor" they had.

祖父が大事にしていた軍隊手帳を見た事がありますが、戦陣訓・生きて虜囚の辱めを受けず（捕虜にならずに死を選べ）の文章の部分に太く赤線が引いてあり、新兵訓練の時にそれを徹底的に教えられ、いざと言う時は爆弾抱えて突撃し敵兵を何人か巻き添えにして死んでやる！と覚悟していたそうですが、
出征先が米軍にスルーされたジャワ島だったため、終戦まで全く戦闘を経験しないまま、現地人と仲良く農業したり、趣味の風景画を描いたりして過ごし、無事日本に生きて帰りました。

There is no honor in war. Go and try to survive, idiots!
