Japanese Women

One of my Thai friends, a man, says that:

"In my opinion, Japanese women are the most beautiful and sexy, so soft and white . . ."

Actually, I disagree with him. But he has a point.

Lately, I've been watching a lot of WWII videos, especially from the War in the Pacific. I have been studying the faces of the Japanese boys who surrendered. During Nimitz and MacArthur's "island-hopping" campaign, typically, the Americans would assault, with overwhelming firepower, a tiny Pacific island defended by 5000 Japanese troops. Of these, 4983 would die fighting and 17 would surrender. Fortunately, we still have photographs of the 17 BRAVE boys who surrendered, shirtless and bronzed (consider the weather). So I have been studying their faces. They don't seem scared or traumatized. They seem wondrous, like children at a zoo.

I'm wondering: is it possible, that in this moment of photography, they realized they made the CORRECT decision -- that surrender was better than death? After all, two years later, they would be back in Japanese society, and did they have work opportunity? UNLIMITED!

And were there Japanese women for them??? OMG, the numbers were at least 100 to 1.

Believe it or not, my mother lived in Japan about that time. I wonder if she got any action? I doubt it! But that was a bad time for heterosexual women everywhere.
