Deceased August 5th, 2016
read 'lions of iwo jima' about the 28th marines on iwo.
according to the book, one jap did surrender saying,
"screw this hari kari sh*t!"
turns out he was from chicago and was visiting relatives in japan when the war broke out and was drafted.
don't know what became of him.

Sounds like the kid from Chicago [?] in the 1st Gulf War, visiting his grandmother in Iraq when the SHTF. Got drafted, no training, no uniform, no gun, got sent out in the field. When the overwhelming odds showed themselves, the ragheads started surrendering in mass, one bunch led by a teenager in tennis shoes, Bermuda shorts, and a Chicago U. sweatshirt, cussing at the top of his lungs, "where the hell have you been, WTF took you so long", GI's didn't believe him at first, he gave them a phone number in Chi town to call, all was verified in a hurry, he led them back to a lot of stuff, and a lot of info. Got a free plane ride home for his effort.
