I find this questionable. A guy thinks he's still fighting WWII even though it's been dozens of years since he's seen any conflict, had any communication or suppies from his chain of command, etc. I'm not buying it. I think these guys were hiding out for another reason. Maybe they were afraid they would be executed as deserters by the Japanese or as war criminals by the Americans if they came out. Or maybe they just went crazy. Still, it's very interesting and an amazing survival feat.<br><br>Having read the book, what do you think was behind this?
