I watched the BS NHK special "Battle of Okinawa, without escapeway" of the first and last half throughout.
During the new Corona disease, I think I have had often chances to watch (Recorded) TV programs.
However, set is aside,
Needless to say, "Hell beyond the limits of human being imagination " was portrayed in an unflinching and intense manner.
If you want to know about these historical events, it is better to watch documentaries like this than movies made in Hollywood.
I think we should realize the ridiculousness of war movies that depict "family love" and "marital love" in this kind of hell.
-----
In this documentary program, the story of
"Japanese soldier tries to shoot a Japanese civilian who is trying to surrender to US forces"
appeared.
In the same environment and position, I am sure that I would have killed my civilian just like this Japanese soldier.
It makes no sense to criticize the "hell of the unusual" from the safety of our daily lives, where we are guaranteed to live, have enough food and sleep 75 years in the future.
-----
We are the kind of idiots who shy away from taking even the legally guaranteed "annual leave" because of the atmosphere in the workplace or the boss's face. So we will make us
"Japanese soldiers trying to kill Japanese civilians"
I think that the proverb of "On battlefield, the person to make a justice argument will be killed first" is true.
(*) I thought these were Sun Yat-sen's words, but I couldn't find them in the documents. If anyone knows who said it, please let me know.
Once we have created a battlefield, everyday logic no longer applies.
Therefore "Never make any battlefield" is important.
