    DISCLAIMER: This historic film contains words, language and phrases -- particularly with respect to race -- which may be offensive to a modern audience. Periscope Film presents this movie as an historical document, so that students, researchers and the general public can see an original, WWII source document, just as Marines would have seen it during the conflict. We do not endorse the opinions or racial ideas presented in the film, but embrace a pluralistic society where differences are respected; racial names and epithets are anathema to our organization.
    This WWII training film "Jap Language Useful Phrases" was made for the indoctrination of U.S. Marines. The film begins with footage of captured Japanese soldiers, and a discussion of the importance of the intelligence gained from them which has helped save American lives. Next, the film moves to the classroom where some basic pronunciation guides are shown, and then phrases such as "Surrender", "Cease Fire", "Drop Your Weapons", "Hands Up", "We Won't Murder You", and others are taught. The instructor also teaches phrases for dealing with captured Japanese prisoners including "Strip", "Come Out", "Come Here", "Forward March", "Shut Up", etc. A Japanese soldier is shown in the classroom, presumably a Japanese-American drafted into the role specifically for the film.
    We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment! See something interesting? Tell people what it is and what they can see by writing something for example: "01:00:12:00 -- President Roosevelt is seen meeting with Winston Churchill at the Quebec Conference."

      @@joeneedstosleep It directly translate to something like "Demon Americans" the first two characters mean Devil or Arch-enemy, the last character means rice, but the old Japanese word for America was 米国, which means rice kingdom, since America was seen as wealthy, and the ancient Japanese measured wealth by an increment called koku, which was estimated to be about how much rice it took to feed a person for a day, Rice kindom translates closely to "land of the wealthy" or "wealthy land.'
      Long story short, I don't think 鬼畜米 is as bad of a tattoo as some of the ones I've seen, I think Japanese people would think it was more of a mocking gesture than anything since tattoos are seen a taboo in japan and seen as a 'trashy' or 'low-life' thing to have.

    I learned key phrases in Arabic for a deployment to Iraq. One day we brought in some captured Iraqis, loading them into a 5 ton Truck for transport to base. On another occasion I was called forward to help with a wounded Iraqi. In both case, even a minimal ability to talk in their native language was INVALUABLE. It kept the Prisoners in line, the wounded Iraqi calm, and countless others we encountered during patrols a bit of middle ground, that paid LARGE Dividends in Intelligence Gathering and Military Operations.
    It's not just a "Stupid Army Class" to muddle through, it's a SKILL SET that can SAVE your live and the lives of both fellow American Troops and the Civilian Population. Since then I have learned basic Pashtu and Urdu phrases and words for Afghanistan, and attended the Basic Spanish class at the Defense Language Institute. Four years of UNIVERSITY level Spanish crammed into only 6 months of training. This was done so I could operate as a member of a Special Forces Group in Central and South America.

      He did say " da-me-da-yo " ( pardon the romaji ). And it does mean " No. Stop. Don't do that ." But it's an expression more suited to asking small children to quit doing something annoying.
      I don't think it's appropriate to say to enemy soldiers.
      In that context, maybe plain command forms like " yamero " ( Stop it ) or " ugoku na " ( don't move ) and " shaberu na " ( no talking ) will be more effective.

      actually this sounds just like any class we were taught at Parris Island. A lot of repetition, a lot of “I can’t hear you, LOUDER!”, a lot of “wake that recruit up in the back!” Etc etc. And they made sure you learned it by asking random recruits questions and if they coudln’t answer, everyone else had to PT (i.e. do pushups, etc). So trust me, everyone learned QUICK. Nothing like group punishment to help the memory.

    I think the real reason for this presentation is a bit of psychological conditioning, not language acquisition. Reconsider the phrases they are repeating. They’re essentially asking these men to repeatedly shout out loud the manner in which they will defeat their enemy, as if it were destiny, without letting them in on that’s what they’re really doing. The marines had the hardest job in the pacific theater and I think the command wanted them to be mentally ready.
