Another Lost Soldier

May 27, 2005 Rand Simberg

To quote someone else, heh.

Seriously, though, it is kind of amazing that there are still Japanese soldiers coming home from WW II after all these years. It was always a big story back in the sixties whenever one of these guys was found hiding out on some remote island (there was even a Gilligan’s Island episode based on one–see number fifteen in the link), and that was only twenty years after the war. Now it’s sixty.
