The story isnt new and many of us have heard about it, the japanese soldier who kept fighting for 30 years after the war was ended in the Philiphines.

On that link you will find some pearls like this:


His adventures are detailed in his book “No Surrender: My Thirty-year War.” The Japan Times excerpted some of the book’s highlights in 2007.

Here is a sample:

– “Men should never compete with women. If they do, the guys will always lose. That is because women have a lot more endurance. My mother said that, and she was so right.”

What? Never? They were on CBC Sunday afternoons regularly, alternating with Abbott and Costello, Little Rascals and Bowrie Boys. And maybe Buster Keaton movies if I remember...Or was that TVO...?
