Not back then. They were straight up willing to send all their people to their deaths and even then the surrender was a close run thing with opposition. Read up on their preps for defending the home islandsJapanese value life. These Pali degenerates are willing to die to exclude others from a piece of land
Also they sure didn't give any fucks for the lives of non Japanese.
But they still surrendered and when they did they quickly chilled the fuck out, like reasonable people.
It's pretty sad when Hamas comes off badly when compared to the WWII Japanese.
