Japan WW2 Soldier Who Refused to Surrender Dies
A Japanese soldier who refused to surrender after World War Two ended and spent 29 years
in the jungle has died aged 91 in Tokyo. Hiroo Onoda remained in the jungle on Lubang Island near
Luzon, in the Philippines, until 1974 because he did not believe that the war had ended. He was
finally persuaded to emerge after his ageing former commanding officer was flown in to see him.
Onoda was greeted as a hero on his return to Japan.
The young soldier had orders not to surrender - a command he obeyed for nearly three
decades. “I became an officer and I received an order. If I could not carry it out, I would feel
shame. I am very competitive”, he said. Three other soldiers were with him at the end of the war.
One emerged from the jungle in 1950 and the other two died.
Mr Onoda ignored several attempts to get him to surrender. He later said that he dismissed
search parties sent to him, and leaflets dropped by Japan, because there was always something
suspicious, so he never believed that the war had really ended. Though Onoda had been officially
declared dead in December 1959, search parties were sent out in 1972, when the last person from
his group was killed by local police, but they did not find him. Onoda was now alone.
On February 20, 1974, a Japanese man, Norio Suzuki, found Onoda after four days of searching.
They became friends, but Onoda still refused to surrender, saying that he was waiting for orders
from a superior officer. Suzuki returned to Japan with photographs of himself and Onoda as proof of
their encounter, and the Japanese government located Onoda’s commanding officer, Major Yoshimi
Taniguchi. He flew to Lubang where on March 9, 1974, he finally met with Onoda and rescinded his
original orders in person.
The Philippine government granted him a pardon, although many in Lubang never forgave
him for killing 30 people during his campaign on the island. The news media reported on this and
other misgivings, but at the same time welcomed his return home.

Military Officers Face a New Evaluation
Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is leading important changes following recent scandals involving high-ranking officers. This is part of training and development programs for generals and admirals. They will include new courses to train the security detail, executive staffs and even the spouses of senior officers.
Saying he was disturbed about the misconduct issues, General Dempsey said that evaluations of top officers needed to go beyond the traditional assessment of professional performance by superior officers alone. He said that he had decided the changes were necessary “to assess both competence and character in a richer way”.
“You can have someone of incredible character who can’t lead their way out of a forward operating base because they don’t have the competence to understand the application of military power, and that doesn’t do me any good”, General Dempsey said. “Conversely, you can have someone who is intensely competent in the skills of the profession, but doesn’t live a life of character. And that doesn’t do me any good.”
General Dempsey said that regular professional reviews would be transformed from top-down assessments to the kind of “360-degree performance evaluation”, which includes feedback from subordinates, peers and superiors. For the new training programs, he said that while it may be impossible to prevent infractions, “most officers need to be reminded of the rules and regulations on a routine basis”.
Teams of inspectors will observe and review the procedures of commanders and their staffs. The inspections will not be punitive, but will provide a “periodic opportunity for general officers to understand whether, from an institutional perspective, we think they are inside or outside the white lines”, he said. In addition, new programs will be instituted to ensure that a commander’s staff, and a spouse, are fully aware of military regulations.
“In my 39 years in the military, I have learned that you are not a profession just because you say you are. You have to earn it and re-earn it and re-evaluate it from time to time”, General Dempsey said.
