He was truly a remarkable warrior. To survive on his own for that long and never give up is an incredible story.
He was a Japanese hero but didn't recognise the Japan he flew back to.
That does make for a good soldier actually. Doesnt mean that he wasnt resouceful or clever, his ability to stay alive, unassisted for 30 years is testament to that. It just means that if youy gave him an order, you could rely on him to try and do it as best he could.
The failure, if there was one, was the rigidity of the sytem he served. Japan has changed since then
Makes him a soldier following orders. Yes civilians were killed, but he reasonably thought the war was still on (keeping in mind the way the IJA were trained) and he was not killing them just to kill them.
In the report, it stated that he killed "30 people evading capture"Makes him a good robot.
In the report he killed Filipino civilians.
