You've heard the stories: The US Marines landed on a remote Pacific island and fought the Japanese. After the battle was over and the island secured, there are only a few handfuls of living Japanese POWs. Why did this happen? What was going on? What drove the average Japanese soldier to fight to the end -- to the last breath, to the last bullet, to the last grenade and last man. Why, why, why? This video answers these difficult questions. Watch it and perhaps find out something new!
