How did the Americans eliminate Japanese soldiers before they defeated Japan? The best way is to make them feel like they're out of the game and commit suicide collectively.

After the Americans occupied Japan, one of the best things they did was to pull the emperor down from the throne, so that the Japanese lost their motivation to go crazy.

The two overseas officers on Iwo Jima had actually accepted the Western values ​​of upholding human rights during the process of westernization, and the figure of the emperor gradually became blurred, which was also the reason for the differences of opinion among the Japanese army.

Today's Japanese politicians go to the Yasukuni Shrine because they want to find the source of motivation for the Japanese people to go crazy in those days. Just stop struggling and just raise your hand and surrender to the United States. Anyway, this thing about war is all fooled by politicians and capitalists, making people sacrifice their lives and count the money themselves.
