Japanese soldiers in World War II thought they were bringing freedom and liberation from foreign white domination to all Asians (except the Chinese?). "Asia for the Asiatics!" they cried. Sounded really idealistic, didn't it? They died in their hundreds of thousands, in the ruins of the lands they invaded, and finally in their own homeland in atomic fireballs and burning cities.

This is what happens to the young and naive who believe an aggressor's propaganda and march off to make war on foreign soil.
