Unless you have been in war you don't know the effects it has on every one who must endure it...my time was Nam and to this day it was and continues to be a dreadful experience...this guy went over the edge and should have been rotated out but was not...killing and seeing your buddies killed has an unexplainable effect on the mind.

@mikihouse...your comment on the Bataan death march are horrendous...the Japanese military considered all their enemies as 'sub-human' and treated prisoners cruelly and immorally...you might do some reading on what really went down.

@ ka-chan...well written! Here in the US you go to the ER and if it's a serious life threatening situation you get taken care of 'right now'...i have always heard that Japan had a great medical and health care system lately i've been wondering about those statements...things cost here if you don't have insurance and folks go broke due to illness or serious accident's but the ER must by law admit the patient.

I have been to Japan on numerous occasions for long periods of time and the beauty of the scenery and ancientness of the culture continually amaze me as does the still prevalent belief that suicide will solve some thing or make amends for an inequity...this is another tragic loss of life that will make little difference in course of thing's but will bring untold suffering to the survivors...RIP young man!
