"There will be a breakdown of morale in the Jap home land and the entire war machine will collapse," he predicted.
Speaking of the famous Japanese "suicide" soldiers he said, "This personal zeal to die is not bravery but pure fanaticism and it is an aid to us."
He explained that the Japanese recognize no such thing as a prisoner
"If a Japanese falls in a mission, or realizes that capture is imminent, the only honorable thing he knows to do is to take his own life. The few who have been taken alive usually have been so badly wounded that suicide was a physical impossibility," he said. "In the Burma theater Japanese propaganda was continued to grow love."
