      This is a really dark subject. People who are extremely intelligent that have absolutely no common sense whatsoever. On the other hand, the Japanese "holdouts" did their best to avoid suicide.

    Jocko, you should cover the Yugoslavian War, where a small nation Croatia back in 1991 fought for its independency and defended its teritory fighting a conventional war in modern times in south-eastern Europe not so long ago (back in the daaayz!), Croatians stood there ALONE and without any direct interventions of foreign military forces. The controverse major military operation Storm was the last major battle of the Croatian War of Independence and a major factor in the outcome of the Bosnian War (also known after the biggest genocide on the European soil after WW2, genocide in a town Srebrenica ). The operation Storm itself followed an unsuccessful UN peacekeeping mission and diplomatic efforts to settle the conflict. Controverse is because from the military point of view it was a masterpiece by itself designed by Croatians to free the great portion of land that was held by Serb forces. The operation Storm is still being taught in various military academies across the world. Politically speaking Croatians were accused of ethnically cleansing by occupying forces...very thin line. Complicated story but worth to cover.

    Great analysis of a powerful historical document. This topic is significant and I appreciate all the time and effort put into this conversation.
    On several occasions during the conversation you were caught up in considering the impact of this document on you as individuals and lost sight of the broader impact.
    The significance of this document lies in the fact that it was written to control the perceptions and ideals of society.
    Our United States is founded with a separation between church and state in order to prevent this form of tyranny.
    A moral guideline implemented on an individual basis may develop a healthy society, yet the same morality forcefully implemented from top down will have the opposite effect.

    Amazing episode! I was stationed in Yokosuka from 2006-2008. I would highly recommend visiting the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots in Kagoshima. It blew my mind and really challenged my thinking about the war. Those young boys were forced to write those letters in praise of Japan and The Emperor. The familial stuff is all real, though. At the museum they have hundreds of the original letters, planes used in the Kamikaze attacks they pulled out of the Pacific, and film footage of the war that Americans have never seen unless you go there. The Japanese had planes that flew along side the Kamikaze, filming the attacks.

    Kudos to Jocko for pointing out that the letters are "sickening" at 5:30.
    It takes a wiser mind to not glorify this history.
    I respect how Jocko points this out, as it is sad for kids to beleive that they are subjects, if not bombs, of a King while parents can do nothing but send their sons away.

    The thing to me that sounds off about this particular cultural doctrine is how it seems each person is born with a heavy debt yoked to them. People don't decide to be born their parents decide to have them and immediately saddle them with the burden of honoring and supporting their parents and serving the empire. It doesn't seem clear when or if they're allowed to be their own independent person and at what point.
    So are they just born to be a higher form of service animal to the empire and their parents? That's a criminal waste of latent talents and human potential.

  • @austinjrb

    Jocko mentioned how the code required them to give up their individuality for the sake of the collective, and it dawned on me the dichotomy of being both an individual AND simultaneously apart of something greater.
    These days you hear a lot about "we are all one" or collective consciousness, and I get it. It sounds cool, but when they say that there are no differences or separations between us? That's when logically it falls on itself because the fact is that we're all unique individuals. Does that mean we can't come together? Not at all. It's naive to believe that differences will prevent us from being unified. The way I see it, we can come together in spite of them.
    TLDR; I agree with Jocko saying you can be an individual and apart of a collective at the same time.

    Good episode! For final thoughts, I believe America won by other means, especially 1.) Americans were attacked and are willing to fight back. 2.) through better mass production of weapons/equipment. Comparing cultural motivation of the combatant is hard enough since any nation/state that don't (fully-) follow freedom-based/democracy systems are capable of being superpowers by effectively producing good modern soldiers and in conquering lands (i.e. Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, USSR, Russian Federation). Perhaps in an alternate history, the Axis powers would've won WWII or that USSR is #1 but gladly not in this timeline! I do believe each combatant can fight better when their motivation aligns with the motivation of others, especially in respect with the culture of the country where the combatant is represented; the American soldier who grew up in Democracy/Freedom-based systems is as effective as the Imperial Japanese soldier who grew up with Dharmic/Confucian/Imperial-based systems.

    ww2
    japanese kamikazes used meth and maybe also something like ecstacy or mdma.
    Americans, British, and the Germans also used meth or amphetamine en masse.
    Montgomery personally ensured that troops were supplied with speed pills in preparation for his unstoppable assault at El Alamein.
    Finnish used masses of heroin (my personal favourite) and also meth.
    (more heroin was used per capita in Finland than anywhere else in the world.)

    What Jocko says here about Kamikaze attacks being ineffective is false. They were the best tactic the Japanese had, this excellent video explains why despite the low success rate, it was better than the alternatives: ruclips.net/video/QqwDvxLVZII/видео.html
    Essentially US anti-air defense was so good, and Japanese losses so high, that they had far *fewer* losses with kamikaze tactics than with attacks where pilots aimed to survive.
