This would never happen here. Their culture has such built in sense of respect and pride that surpasses most other cultures.
 
Re: Elderly Japanese Volunteer To Clean Up Radiation

I'm familiar with the Japanese culture and given the generation involved, I don't think it's something unique to them. You would get men and women with that amount of backbone here just as you would in Europe and elsewhere.

Maybe not China though... unless it's spine manufactured out of cheap plastic shit...

It is more the generation than the culture. The younger generation in Japan just as in America is spoiled. I am sure some of our Vietnam vets would do the same. I know our ww2 and korea vets would have, and most non vets of that generation that grew up in or right after the depression in the 40's - early 60's would. But I wouldn't put much stock in our hippie baby boomers, or my current generation.

That Earthquake Tsunami combo was pretty bad, even compared to katrina. The south had plenty of notice, and n.O. only had limited areas seriously affected. Most of the rest of the low lying areas had the good sense to evacuate because they knew they were gonna get flooded bad, and the worst that happened was they lost their homes, but not their lives.
Japan had no notice, of anything. That was really awful. They have something over 10,000 dead, and infrastructure ike power, roads, and bridges are just ruined or gone.
That Earthquake Tsunami, to me was worse than Katrina, and then the Nuke Plant problem really makes it a catastrophe.
That was a big, big quake in a really vulnerable place, and even with the alarms and sirens they couldn't get away in time.

Here's the original' interview:

My man speaks pretty good Engrish... a damn sight better than my Japanese.

"Oh, my God. We are not kamikaze!" An amazing reaction of modesty--it's plain he understands the "you're crazy" inference in the question, "Are you kamikaze penshioners?"

He's got two<span style="font-style: italic"> cooks</span> who want to volunteer--they said, "workers have to eat". An amazing demonstration of nationalism, culture, and values.

If the actual timing of the breaking of diplomatic relations between Japan and USA in 1941 had actually worked out correctly, Pearl Harbor would not have been the villainous sneak attack as our history records it. It would have been the immediate follow-up of a "actual" declaration of war.

Had we won such a war that started with "more honor", we would probably have seen the Japanese in a different light, and regarded (most) of its' code and culture with the same awe and fascination with which the modern world now regards Sparta.
 
Re: Elderly Japanese Volunteer To Clean Up Radiation

We all only have one life to "spend"...these elderly Japanese are willing to invest what they have left of theirs in the future of their country and the people who follow them. Many soldiers have the same mentality and I thank the Lord for folks like them every day.

Selfless and inspiring.
