I remember when the Japanese guy was discovered living like that a few years ago. War can send some people off the deep end in which they simply don`t care anymore and just want to be left alone.
Stories like these make me more Anti-War than I already am.
Sorry but if the U.S. had conducted unrestricted B-52 strikes the war would have been over in a month.

Why are humans always "rescuing" things?
My grand mother would come home every few months with a "rescued" dog. What that meant was, she took a free dog captive. It isn't like we live in the big city.
People, too. If you don't want to be a part of the society at large, you are deemed abnormal and commited for evaluation. They force you into our zoo, whether you like it or not. You are a captive of society.

6 minutes if we had just nuked em. The US dropped more bombs in Vietnam than all the allies did in world war II combined.
Need I remind you the idea was not to "win the war" but to stretch it out as long as possible in order to make as much money as possible. Sound familiar? Look at the middle East today. What a gravy train for the Industrial Military Complex. Endless war.

The last Japanese soldiers surrendered in 1974, almost 30 years after the war ended.
Hiroo Onoda only surrendered to his former commander who flew to the Philippines were he had been hiding. "He turned over his sword, his Arisaka Type 99 rifle (in working order), 500 rounds of ammunition and several hand grenades, as well as the dagger his mother had given him in 1944 for protection."
I wonder how many more of these war refugees died in the jungles or may still be out there. War does terrible things, even to the survivors.

Reminds me of the Russian family that was found after 40 years
Russian Siberian Family Was Cut Off From All Human Contact for 40 Years- Unaware of World War II !
