And they didn't fucking rescue him? Just dismissed him? That's Gilligan's Island shit right there.

They took him back to Japan, he just had refused to stop fighting and come home until he received a direct order from a known superior.

Funnily enough, there was a Gilligan's Island episode based on this. Except the soldier shows up on the island and holds them hostage.

His squad was there for a while, stole from the locals, had firefights with the police, and caused problems in general. Eventually, a (1/2)

Japanese student tracked him down, and he refused to believe that Japan surrendered until his CO personally tells him that. (2/2)

Oh, and as a bonus, after he left the island, years later, he donated a bunch of money to the locals to apologize. (3/2)

They pardoned him from his crimes because it was his superior's fault that he had not been relieved already and thought the war was still on

Thing with the Japanese Army then, if they were told an order they stuck with it. He was ordered by his officer to stay until he--->

came back for him. So that is why he continued to fight and why they need his original officer to come and tell him the war was over.

This was in Guam. I was stationed there with the Navy and it was part of the lore of the island.

Actually, the guy described in the image above was found in the Philippians (Hirō Onoda). The dude in Guam was someone else (Shoichi Yokoi).

close, the guy OP is showing was in the Philippines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hir%C5%8D_Onoda

This is Hirō Onoda. A different soldier was in Guam. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoichi_Yokoi

Did he just decide he liked Guam better?

Well, Guam is pretty fucking cool. But as the story goes, he hid in a cave by the water and lived off fish and fruit from nearby trees.

he was a tailor before the war and made clothes from natural materials.

Well he did think he was fighting a war.

Leaflets were dropped, no one resupplied him, and he had men under him who wanted to go home. He murdered and robbed from civilians.

I'm not saying what he did was right. His bio explains his thought process, it's pretty interesting.

To be fair, if I was in a world war and just barely survived by hiding in the mountains, I wouldn't believe many leaflets either, personally

How many years do you believe the war lasts? How many years do you conduct guerrilla warfare on the locals?

Pretty sure he wasn't exactly stranded but hiding out in the jungle and refused to believe that Japan surrendered

Let's not forget it took TWO atomic bombs to get them to surrender. Dedicated doesn't even begin to describe them at that time

Didn't Japan want to surrender after the first bomb already but they couldn't reach the USA in time?

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

No. They intentionally did not respond to the US. Large elements of the government and military didn't even want to surrender (1/?)

There's this idea among Japanese that they thought they would become slaves if they lost, because they enslaved china and korea before. 1/

Well, their foreign relations with China and Korea are still fucked to this day because of their actions in WWII. So there's that.

When America helped them rebuild instead, needless to say, they were shocked. They idolize America to an extent in this regard.

Seeing how they treated the Korean and Chinese I am surprised they surrendered at all if that is what they thought would happen to them.
